Aquatic Plants and Animals

Take an upclose, scientific look at pond life as we explore the importance of macro-invertebrates as part of the aquatic ecosysem. We will use nets and buckets to collect, and charts to identify, the various insect larvae, crustaceans and other small creatures that inhabit our lake. These specimans will provide clues as to the overall health and water quality of the lake. (NCSCOS Science Standards: 1st-Goal 1; 4th-Goal 1; 5th-Goal 1; 8th-Goal 3)
