Last week we had another amazing adventure at
Starr Ranch with our friend Anabelle and some other homeschooling friends! Our great environmental educators, Scott and Jen, led us to a stream where we learned about aquatic invertebrate, such as
dobsonflies,
toe-biters, may-flies, and
water-striders. We looked for the difference in the amount of insects and the types of insects found in
riffles and
pools, then we collected them in buckets and sorted them. We found out that there are many more aquatic invertebrate in riffles than in pools! Here are some of the pictures that we took while we were there:
pools...
this is a larva of something....?
buckets of bugs!
here am I... reading when I wasn't taking pictures!
nate fishing in the riffles
we were all given trays to put our catch in so it would be easier to sort
and.... here are the end results!
