2004 Ecology River Watch Project

2004 Ecology River Watch Project

Group M5: Kim, Lucas, Racheal, Matt, and Chad

For our project, Mrs. Starwalt's ecology class went out to the Hurricane Creek in Greenup, Illinois, to collect data for our observation. Here, we timed water speeds, collected Macroinvertebrates, checked temperatures, and sketched out each site section. Then, we identified all of the Macroinvertebrates from each site and counted the number of each different type of bug. The links below are our results from this project.
