A Day at the River

During our Project Wet activity, we got to go to Stones River and observe what was in the water! We learned how to tell if water is clean or polluted by the fish and organisms we found in the water. I had no idea you could tell how clean the water is by taking a small sample of a few creatures in it. We put the ones we found in ice trays to observe, and then let them go unharmed when we were done. It's amazing what you notice when you really look! It turns out the part of Stones River we examined was pretty clean! But we have to be so careful of what we put down our drains, because it can end up in our rivers and lakes.
