Water Quality Fieldtrip
Mrs. Perez's AP Environmental Science class took a field trip to the Hillcrest Park duck pond to test water quality. Students participated in hands-on field research by utilizing scientific probes to test levels of dissolved oxygen and temperature. Students also completed a macroinvertebrate survey, in which they used nets to gather macroinvertebrates like larvae, snails, and worms. They then identified the different macroinvertebrate species to determine the biodiversity of the pond. Once back in class, they tested the turbidity, pH, phosphorus, and nitrate levels of the pond as well. After analyzing all of these water quality indicators, students concluded that the Hillcrest Duck pond water has healthy levels. This experience allowed students to gather authentic data in the field and apply their understanding of the concepts discussed in their AP Environmental Science class to real-world scenarios. It was a beautiful and productive day enjoyed by all! Thank you Mrs. Perez for giving our students this great experience!
