River Investigation


Today we went to the Hautapu River (Next to our school) to investigate .......
-Clarity
-Habitat
-Flora and fauna
-Algae

To see if this River is really polluted???
The water from far look nice and clean but....Was it really
we got given jobs they were like
-Checking how the Clarity of the water was Michael,Teri,Ariana and Cody
-Finding bugs or other living things were Jessica,Joshua,Marika and Me
-Finding things like Fungi and other kinds of Moulds was Cassandra

Finding bugs and other creatures it was very difficult because walking on the slippery rocks and cold water. Getting there was step and the Bank looked as if it was fulling away because it needs to have more tree so the dirt will be able to hold together..

The Insects i found were quite difficult to see because they live under rocks. It was even harder to see them because they are very small. We found some Insects that were on a list showing if they were good or not so good to be in the water..
