Monroe Road Elementary School
Lambertville, Michigan

This report is from Cheryl Lykowski's 5th grade group:
We have a pond on our school campus. We did quite a bit with our pond study/Bucket Buddies. Not only did we look for microscopic organisms, but we tested the water temperature and ph of the water as well. We have
science probes that connect wirelessly to handhelds for this type of testing. Then we took our samples back and looked for organisms with our microscopes. This what our class found:

Daphnia~ a lot!
Damselfly nymph x2
Dragonfly nymph x3
There was also some debris such as grass, plants, and silt.

This report is from Mrs. Werth's homeroom:

We were able to not only look for organisms in our pond here at school but, we also took water temperature and ph testing of our water..
Here is what our class found in our pond:
