The Grand River

Two things I learned while reading the links were that the Grand River is about 5,660 square miles and it is significantly cleaner today than it was 30 years ago. Before we went to the Grand River to run our water test I thought it would be simple and fun. While at the river I learned some new animals that lived in the river, the river isn't very clean compared to the fecal coliform count, and the river isn't as deep as I thought it'd be. Working with the kids was definitely a good thing because it was fun teaching them how to do the tests and show them the animals. My overall reaction the field trip was a positive one because we got to help kids learn and get some fresh air.
