Dear Students,
We had a great time on the water sampling project.We had the opportunity
to observe many macro and micro organisnsims in the pound that is flowing
near our school.We saw many creatures that we havent seen before.Also the
oxygen level was 2.4ppm and the ph was 6.Since there are many cattle and
horsefarms in the area around the school,we had suspected ammonia.Our test
proved that it did.Since there are many farmlands in the area we
hypothesized that there would be nitrates and phosphates.Our pond water
also showed the presence of those chemicals which probably came from the
fertilizers.The water temperature was 15 degrees Celsius.The speed of the
water flow was 1 kilometer per second.
We enjoyed reading all the letters you all wrote.We hope you had a
good time with this project.We also like to thank Ms.Macke for taking her
time to come out and help us.Hope to do projects with you in the future.
Sincerly,
Jeff Githens,Brian Adkins,Rodney Roberts,Richard Mays,Anthony
Navarro,and Pierce Mcgee
