Our class will be testing the water in Buffalo Creek over the course of eight weeks. We are hoping to decide whether or not it is a healthy stream. the things we will we be looking for oxygen in water, if there is alkaline in the water, the pH balance of the water, and the temperature in the water.
Its very important to find out if Buffalo Creek is healthy because if the pH balance is not between 6.5-8.5 it is not healthy the fish could die off and also not be able to lay eggs; which causes no offspring. The other test are important too they all play a roll in making sure if the water is healthy or not; the part I do in this experiment is checking the pH balance and temperature of the water. Checking in the temp. of the water helps decide what has changed. The organisms change due to temp. of the water.
