Data Collection
Manual Entry
Use this field sheet to manually record the water quality parameters of Temperature, Salinity, DO, pH, and Turbidity. The colour charts help students decipher their findings.
On the back side is a key for benthic invertebrates showing size, number of legs, and also sensitivity of indicator species.
Citizen Science: Digital
Use the Survey123 app on devices with students (or afterwards) to enter in location based data on a digital platform that records geolocation and other data across Toronto and beyond. Compare your class with others!
Click the links below or use the QR code in the app to bring up the survey. Check out the post trip resources where students can interpret and manipulate the data.
