Day 2 - Microinvertebrates 7/22
Day 2 - Microinvertebrates 7/22
We ended up having to do multiple rounds capturing the microinvertebrates in order to obtain an adequate amount - this is a portion of the ones we got.
Some process pictures..
The computer doesnt seem to want to pick up some of the finer print, here is my data.
Microinvertebrate Multimetric Index
Unfortunately my stream scored slightly below average.
Quick sketches of some of the organisms we found.
Written Reflection - Day 2
I really had fun completing the activities for today. I ended up bringing my little sister along with me, which was a huge help. One thing we found a little difficult was acquiring larger amounts of the organisms. Additionally, much of my stream was very fast moving and deep with large boulders instead of cobblestone. This made it difficult to find places to complete the processes. However, we were able to gather 64 microorganisms today. A success in my books.
