Freshwater Academy is a week-long camp that gives high school students the opportunity for hands-on experience and fieldwork in Northwestern Pennsylvania's waterways. Students spend their days studying biology and freshwater ecology at a level they can't achieve in the classroom. They will get wet, they will get dirty, and they will love it!

Whats Up... stream?
On Tuesday, the gang all traveled up the creek to survey the water above the dam. We wanted to test our hypotheses that we made earlier in the week. These hypotheses involved the differences in water quality from above and below the dam. Along with water chemistry, we also surveyed the microorganisms in the creek so then we could compare the quantity and diversity to below the dam. We did so using a kick net method as shown below.
