1. ADVENTURE LEARNING 2014 THE MARY AND ANNIE SHOW

2. INQUIRY Does canopy cover affect the amount of dissolved oxygen in a small stream?

3. Hold onto your shorts and tevas… We think the amount of canopy cover will change the dissolved oxygen levels in a stream.

4. Select 5 sites. Estimate canopy cover and take a picture. Use Lab Quest probes to take air temperature. Procedure

5. Lab Quest probes read water temperature AND dissolved oxygen level. Procedure (continued)

6. Use the CHEMets kit to take a 2nd dissolved O2 reading. Procedure (continued)

7. SITE #1: CANOPY COVER: 98% Left Bank: highly vegetative Right Bank: erosion, moss, plants, undercut

8. SITE #2: CANOPY COVER: 60% Left Bank: grassy and undercut Right Bank: rocky, flat, some plants

9. SITE #3: CANOPY COVER: 15% Left Bank: undercut, erosion Right Bank: stone, rocks, vegetation

10. SITE #4: CANOPY COVER: 50% Left Bank: erosion, rocky, some vegetation Right Bank: ferns, debris, rocky

11. SITE #5: CANOPY COVER: 90% Left Bank: erosion, root balls, moss Right Bank: erosion, logs, moss

14. This presentation will be shown to 6 th grade science students to as a sample of the Scientific Process. They will be expected to follow the same procedures when testing water from the Woodland Monitor Well.
