Water Testing on the Sheboygan River

Today the Nature of Science class took a field trip to the Hermitage Conservation Club on the Sheboygan River to perform a variety of water quality tests including: dissolved oxygen, temperature, nitrates, phosphates, turbidity, fecal coliform, pH, total solids, and macroinvertebrates.  The data obtained will be pooled with other districts who are sampling different stretches of the river to give an overall picture of the health of the waterway.
