The last two months our students have been charting and graphing the dissolved oxygen, salinity, and turbidity levels of the Patapsco River. Some of it we have done in person aboard the Snow Goose and some of the research has been conducted in the classroom using the NOAA website. At the end of each week the students found the range, median, mode and solved other problems with their data they have collected. This week we added the James River to our graphs. We will be comparing and contrasting the two rivers and discuss the differences. Talk with your children tonight about the graphs and specifically why the James River has a much higer turbidity rate than the Patapsco's!

Wow, great to see that you have been charting the turbidity levels for two months! The NOAA website sure is a helpful site. Have you noticed a difference in levels when it rains?

The turbidity level was awsome and it is good that we are still learning all of these great things. Thank you Mr.Kaiser and Ms.Kramer for teaching us about things like this.:)
