A Visit to Rice Lake

This week our fourth grade classes went to rice lake. Students collected data about the water quality including; temperature data, pH, water clarity and water depth data.

After the lake visit students took water samples back to our science lab and looked for maroinvertibrates, another important indicator of lake health.  Fourth grade students used high tech tools like Verneir probes, turbidity tubes, pH paper and digital cameras.
