Sunny with Clear Skies, 55ºF Air Temperature, 12.7ºC Water Temperature

We came to class and ready to start our first day of sampling gathering class. After Alan demonstrates us how to complete the biotic testing, including several procedures and the use of equipment in the previous class, it's our time to show what we know. We caught a lot of creatures, including a big crayfish and a few tadpoles, and some disgusting bugs (or so I thought). Our Beaufort scale is 3mph, indicating that the wind is mild. Water temp is 12.7 celsius with air temp around 12.3 Celsius. PH is 6.5, which is close to neutral (7). Phosphate is 1.5 ppm.
