Year 11 Environmental Science

On Monday and Tuesday of this week the Year 11 Environmental Science students conducted independent investigations to determine the health of Tanti creek. Students collected data on litter; vegetation diversity and the invasion of weed species; water quality using chemical indicators to determine dissolved oxygen, nitrates, phosphates, acidity and alkalinity; and water quality using water bugs as biological indicators. 

Students will analyse the combined data to determine the overall health and ecological integrity of the creek and present it in a scientific report.
