#streammonitoring

Last week at Arch, we assisted and observed the 6th Grade students of Melvindale's Strong Middle School, along with their teachers, as they engaged in activities related to conducting chemical tests on water samples from the Rouge River. The students also had the opportunity to examine various Protozoa species within the water samples using field microscopes. This hands-on experience with the scientific process of water sampling heightened their awareness of water resources and they appeared to thoroughly enjoy the activities, which promoted responsible behavior and stewardship of the Rouge River.
