The purpose of the project was to try to show how different weather changes would change the temperature, pH, and transparency of the water in the outdoor stream and why there are few animals in the outdoor lab (woods). We did this by taking the pH of the water in the stream every week on Thursday. While we are out in the outdoor lab (woods), we also measured the transparency, cloud cover, and the temperature of the water. Each week we made observations about the area around the stream and the lack of animal prints along the streamline.
