Our Tasks
Measure Air and Water Temperatures
Measure pH Level of the Water
Measure the Conductivity of the
Water
Measure the Percent Saturation of
Dissolved Oxygen in the Water
Take a GPS reading and Locate Our
Position on the Map
Measuring Air and Water Temperature
Our Results on Monday July 2, 2001:
Air Temperature 16˚c
Water Temperature 19˚c
Measuring the pH Level of the Water
Our Results on Monday July 2, 2001:
pH of Water - 7.5
pH of Milk = 6.6pH of Mellow Yellow Soda = 3.3pH of Grapefruit = 3.4
Measuring the Conductivity of the Water
Our Results on Monday July 2, 2001:
Conductivity of the Water 165uS
Conductivity of Milk=
4.65uS
Conductivity of Grapefruit=
2.52uS
Conductivity of
Soda=
0.51uS
Measuring the Percent Saturation of Dissolved
Oxygen in the Water
Our Results on Monday July 2, 2001:
66% Saturation
Take a GPS Reading and Locate it on the Map

What can we learn about this field from the soil pit?
Use of plows
evident in the A-layer
Rocks and sand at the bottom of the pit indicate that
this land was once part of the
Huntington River
Evidence of
vegetation
Clean-Up Time!
BMI stands for...
Invertebrates - Spineless Creatures
Macro - Large
Benthic - Bottom-Dwelling
Collecting Samples
What We Found
Stonefly Mayfly
Midge
Also:
Caddisflies
Dragonflies
Aquatic Worms
Boulders
• Brought here by The Glacier
• Very difficult for the river to move
• They are Shaped by the river
River Terraces
• Flat and Long
• Separated by steep slopes
• Sand and gravel not far below the soil
Lookout point provides you with a view of two very basic characteristics of a river; a cut bank and a point bar.
A Cut Bank is on the outside of a river bend.
A Point Bar is located on the inside of a river bend.
Bedrock is the solid rock that is under gravel, soil, and other material.
Folds in the bedrock are caused by pressure, heat, and stress.
It is exposed on the Earth’s surface through a combination of faulting
and erosion.
