Macroinvertebrate
Mania (for 8th-11th graders)
(Kris Stepenuck, UW-Extension, Water Action Volunteers).
For those who are interested in learning more about the
life that lurks beneath the surface of streams.
\We'll head out to the stream to collect some samples
and then use microscopes, field guides and keys to help
identify our catch. Learn some fun facts about these
critters, how/what they eat, how they breathe, and about
their structure and adaptations that make life a little
easier in the water for them. http://watermonitoring.uwex.edu/wav/events.html#mania |
