  1. Macroinvertebrate Studies Who does this, and Why? A List of Sites and Applicable TEKS

  2. Corresponding Aquatic Science TEKS for Macroinvertebrate Lab (1) Scientific processes. The student, for at least 40% of instructional time, conducts laboratory and field investigations using safe, environmentally appropriate, and ethical practices. The student is expected to: • (A) demonstrate safe practices during laboratory and field investigations, including chemical, electrical, and fire safety, and safe handling of live and preserved organisms; and • (B) demonstrate an understanding of the use and conservation of resources and the proper disposal or recycling of materials. (2) Scientific processes. The student uses scientific methods during laboratory and field investigations. The student is expected to: • (E) plan and implement investigative procedures, including asking questions, formulating testable hypotheses, and selecting, handling, and maintaining appropriate equipment and technology; • (F) collect data individually or collaboratively, make measurements with precision and accuracy, record values using appropriate units, and calculate statistically relevant quantities to describe data, including mean, median, and range; • (G) demonstrate the use of course apparatuses, equipment, techniques, and procedures; • (H) organize, analyze, evaluate, build models, make inferences, and predict trends from data; • (J) communicate valid conclusions using essential vocabulary and multiple modes of expression such as lab reports, labeled drawings, graphic organizers, journals, summaries, oral reports, and technology-based reports. (3) Scientific processes. The student uses critical thinking, scientific reasoning, and problem solving to make informed decisions within and outside the classroom. The student is expected to: • (A) in all fields of science, analyze, evaluate, and critique scientific explanations by using empirical evidence, logical reasoning, and experimental and observational testing, including examining all sides of scientific evidence of those scientific explanations, so as to encourage critical thinking by the student; (4) Science concepts. Students know that aquatic environments are the product of Earth systems interactions. The student is expected to: • (A) identify key features and characteristics of atmospheric, geological, hydrological, and biological systems as they relate to aquatic environments; (5) Science concepts. The student conducts long-term studies on local aquatic environments. Local natural environments are to be preferred over artificial or virtual environments. The student is expected to: • (A) evaluate data over a period of time from an established aquatic environment documenting seasonal changes and the behavior of organisms; ( • C) analyze interrelationships among producers, consumers, and decomposers in a local aquatic ecosystem; and • (D) identify the interdependence of organisms in an aquatic environment such as in a pond, river, lake, ocean, or aquifer and the biosphere. (7) Science concepts. The student knows the origin and use of water in a watershed. The student is expected to: • (C) identify water quantity and quality in a local watershed. (10) Science concepts. The student knows environmental adaptations of aquatic organisms. The student is expected to: • (A) classify different aquatic organisms using tools such as dichotomous keys; • (B) compare and describe how adaptations allow an organism to exist within an aquatic environment. (12) Science concepts. The student understands how human activities impact aquatic environments. The student is expected to: • (A) predict effects of chemical, organic, physical, and thermal changes from humans on the living and nonliving components of an aquatic ecosystem; • (B) analyze the cumulative impact of human population growth on an aquatic system; • (C) investigate the role of humans in unbalanced systems such as invasive species, fish farming, cultural eutrophication, or red tides

  3. Macroinvertebrate Study List This is but a cursory list of sites found on the web. Listed are government agencies, NGO’s, and private consulting firms that use macroinvertebrates to study water quality. The URL’s often go to scientific papers dealing with some aspect of macroinvertebrates. This is by no means a complete list; several states (CA,MI,NY, OH,PA, TN, VA, VT, WA, & WI) have multitudinous other sites.
