This year room 13 is going to be looking at the health of the Kaikorai stream.
We will be looking at the clarity, PH (or acidity levels) of the water, and much more.
This Tuesday, we went down to the stream and mapped the area where we are going to be working.
We recorded the PH, clarity, temperature, conductivity, and dissolved oxygen.
We had to test the data three times before we could record it.
The water looked filthy, and Liam’s feet got very wet.
The clarity level of the water was 26 to 32 cm.
Some of the water smelled very, very bad.
We all tested the stream in different parts of it.

Wow! This sounds very complex and scientific! I hope you will do a follow-up blog outlining your research and findings. Hopefully your results will show the Kaikorai Stream as healthy and clean.
ReplyDeleteWell done, Clayton and Karl - I hope Liam's socks didn't get too wet!
