  1. Adventure Learning 2014 The Mary And Annie Show

  2. Inquiry • Does canopy cover affect the amount of dissolved oxygen in a small stream?

  3. Hold onto your shorts and tevas… • We think the amount of canopy cover will change the dissolved oxygen levels in a stream.

  4. Procedure • Select 5 sites. • Estimate canopy cover and take a picture. • Use Lab Quest probes to take air temperature.

  5. Procedure (continued) • Lab Quest probes read water temperature AND dissolved oxygen level.

  6. Procedure (continued) • Use the CHEMets kit to take a 2nd dissolved O2 reading.

  7. Site #1: canopy cover: 98% • Left Bank: highly vegetative • Right Bank: erosion, moss, plants, undercut

  8. Site #2: Canopy cover: 60% Left Bank: grassy and undercut Right Bank: rocky, flat, some plants

  9. Site #3: Canopy cover: 15% Left Bank: undercut, erosion Right Bank: stone, rocks, vegetation

  10. Site #4: canopy cover: 50% Left Bank: erosion, rocky, some vegetation Right Bank: ferns, debris, rocky

  11. Site #5: Canopy cover: 90% Left Bank: erosion, root balls, moss Right Bank: erosion, logs, moss
