Students will learn to design, implement, and analyze a scientific investigation while discovering the value of aquatic macroinvertebrates as living indicators of water quality. The kit is reusable and flexible, adaptable to varying time contraints, number of students and grade levels, and it is geographically friendly, and complete. |

All the apparatus and guides necessary for collecting, sorting, and identifying macroinvertebrates are included. The Leaf Pack Experiments Kit also includes a comprehensive instructor’s manual - a valuable reference guide that includes background material on stream ecology, a glossary, diagrammed instructions, experiment ideas, and field and lab data sheets.
