Watershed and Aquatic Ecology Lab

Lab Overview:

In this lab students will learn about watersheds and aquatic ecology. Students will go into the field and test water quality, assess the site for human impacts, and search for aquatic macroinvertebrates, and then use their data to assess the health of the Muddy River. Based upon what they have learned about watersheds, they will then extrapolate about the health of the Charles River and Boston Harbor.
