Pond at Refuge

We spent the entire day at the Erie Wildlife Refuge testing the water in a pond. Every group found the pH, conductivity, size, temperature, distance from things, organisms, and depth of the pond. Various tools were used to conduct these findings. Everyone got a chance to place the net into the water at least three times to find living organisms within the pond. We seen another "beaver retriever" at this site which was slightly different from the first one we saw. This day was all about learning how to discover the conditions of a body of water so it will be easier to conduct future water experiments on later dates in camp. After all the experimenting, we are ready to study more bodies of water!
