I wonder if our creek if healthy

I wonder if our creek is healthy 



My Hypothesis is that the creek is clean because I have been there before.

The Procedure we all did 4 activities but our group did 3 so we could try different ways to test if the creek was clean because that's our goal 

Our Equipment The activities my group did were water flow which we used a stopwatch and an orange so we dropped the orange into the water and timed to see how long it takes for it to get to the end and we had to do that 3 times to get even results. Water temperature for water temperature we had a thermometer, a meter ruler, a container, a pen or pencil, and a stopwatch. For this one you needed to scoop water with the container then you put the thermometer in the water for one minute then you write down your total we did that 4 times at each marker we measured to see how deep it was at the place you got the water. Gravel vs Sediment for one we had a Gravelometer, a sieve, a scoop, a container, and a sharpie. This one we didn't really do because we didn't understand but you had to sediment into 2 different groups then you measure on a tally chart the amount of stuff then you see the percent. 

The conclusion We found out that our creek is an average creek.

  1. Hi my name is Rollin. I like the post you have done. Maybe double check with your Hypothesis. Maybe add a little more to the Hypothesis cause I do not understand how the creek can be clean, just because you've seen it before. Keep up the great work.

  2. Hi Harlem this sounded like a fun science task. I think you could keep the story a bit more interesting, but just letting you know hope you keep up the good work. From Lucian at Ahipara School.
