Kick-netting

It was a raining, cold day; the we (campers) went to a creek to learn and find macro-invertebrates. We all have to wear our rain coats and water shoes, and get our hands, feet wet. At first the counselors taught us about macro-invertebrates, which are small organisms, but visible to the human eye, and without a spine or backbone. They also taught us to recognize the organism and to do identify them so we can find out if the creek is healthy and clean or dirty and unhealthy. The way it worked out was like this, every person have to go with their project group and a net, we have to find a place in which we could possible found macro-invertebrates, then we set the net and after a while get the net out of the water and with some twirler pick the organisms and put it in a bucket of water. Then we have to identify the organisms and sum all of the type of organisms between the other group.
