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!

Water Chemistry and Macros Upstream
My name is Seth, and my panther Aaron. Today, we going to Woodcock dam Upstream, French creek. We learned about to how do water chemistry and macros upstream. Aaron and I were doing water chemistry, a Phosphates and Alkalinity. We were going to get bugs from Kick Netting and we had more bugs 28.6 than yesterday. If tomorrow we ahead to get bugs again, then I hope it will more than less number. We met Jay Gerber with his two PA Dep. They teach us to how to caught a fish as small in the river. That's all I think so.

I don't know what a macro is; can you explain?
Macros is the shortened version of the word macroinvertebrate. We often use it to describe the aquatic 'critters' we study in the creek. The campers also studied the aquatic macroinvertebrates in the creek!
