Scientists have launched their leaf packs into the upper end of the McCabe's Brook! These leaf packs will sit in the water (hopefully) for 3 weeks or longer! We hope that over time macroinvertebrates will colonize our leaf packs. When we retrieve these packs from the water we will search through them carefully to find biotic (living things) organisms which will help us in determining the overall water quality of the McCabe's Brook! Thank you to Susan, Chloe's mother, for supporting Mrs. Crowther and I through this scientific adventure! Over the next week we will read more about river/stream ecosystems and about the macroinvertebrates who live there!
