Wolverines in Flat Creek (Part II)

I spent a glorious day with the Wolverines, investigating the water quality at two different places in Flat Creek. The photos posted earlier today (noon, local time) were from Smith's, while these were take from South Park (no, really. It's called South Park).

The Wolverines' hypothesis was that the optimal range for parameters determining good water quality would be more likely observed above ranch land (Smith's) than below (South Park). Their hypothesis was supported for two parameters (phosphates and conductivity) because, in the students'
estimation, the agricultural effects of humans and animals contaminated the water to some degree.

Afterwards, they skipped stones into the creek, cleaned the bus (stewardship!), and posed for an action shot in the golf cart.

Throughout the day, the Wolverines were engaged, focused, and inquisitive. I was very impressed by the
knowledge they shared, and the helpful way they supported each other in their tasks. Way to go, Wolverines!
