One of the most interesting ways scientists assess water quality is with benthic macroinvertebrates. Students will get into the water in waders to collect inverts, and analyze their findings. Be prepared to get wet and muddy! High school classes can perform additional water sampling tests; analyzing dissolved oxygen, nutrients, temperature, and turbidity.
