Students will visit three points on the local North River in Colrain, Massachusetts. At each location, students will collect samples from the bottom of the river, using 500 micron fishing nets. The collections get placed in trays, where objects and critters are sorted. Once the critters are sorted, students count and classify each type of critter based on the quality of water each needs to survive. This will tell us the health number for our river. Students will then compare the three different collection samples to see if the river is healthy in all locations, or if it is worse downstream from the factory.
