Mountain Laurel Montessori Farm School 9th year Biology students investigate the water quality of the school's pond.
The students used a kick-net to collect samples of aquatic macroinvertebrates. We found damselfly and dragonfly nymphs and even a mayfly nymph! Mayfly nymphs will only live in very high quality water with lots of dissolved oxygen.
This aquatic study is part of a species inventory the students are undertaking of the entire property to determine the level of biological diversity of the farm.
