Macroinvertebrate ID Activity - 0 views

  •  
    This is a good activity to use before and after students go to a stream to assess the macro-invertebrates and their toleration levels. I find this resource beneficial when discussion water quality and ecology. If you are able to take students to a stream, this could be used as an introduction to what they can see. If a stream is not available, then this can be used to teach students what is in a stream and what they can tolerate.
