95. • You can now complete this question

96. • Teacher will provide you a tray filled with a
bit of water and some aquatic life.
– Use your sheet to identify the different benthic
macro-invertebrates.
– Use you hands to pick them up gently if
necessary.
– How many different species can you identify.
Be prepared to do this in the field.

97. • Activity! (Optional) Benthic Macro-invertebrates.
– Visit a river / stream and have teacher / students kick
net for specimens.
• Bring specimens to trays on shore for data collection.
– Fill out sheet to determine the TOTAL NUMBER of
each type of Benthic-Macro-invertebrates by
recording a check next to each specimen.
• Example on next slide.
– Record final numbers in your journal with species
name according to class.
