The Team: Teachers: Dan Courtney, James Cobern, and Amber Zachos with community partner NH Fish and Game.
The Facility: Pawtuckaway State Park, we will be at Site B in the Youth Camping Area.
Students will investigate the water quality of Pawtuckaway Lake by measuring water quality parameters; temperature, pH, conductivity, dissolved oxygen, a macro invertebrate survey and water clarity. They will take samples at various locations, record and analyze data. Students will investigate air quality by conducting a survey of lichen populations at various sites in the forest areas of the camp.
This program is being offered for credit. This program is for incoming grades 9-12
This program runs Monday - Friday, July 9-13 as an overnight camp, with presentations being put together the following week in the PMHS computer lab.
