Water Test

Today we took the water sample that we collected from the brook two weeks ago and did a nitrate test. The results were 0 mg/L. We took the water sample from the drainage pipe that flows into the brook.

Ducks

Today we went to the brook from 9-10 AM. It was a nice day. We saw a duck in the brook on the north of Parade St. Later we saw two duck flying overhead. Later still a duck landed in the brook. We found a toy truck, an ice cap cup, and plastics bags along the edge of the brook. There was a bottle in the water.

Broad Brook 2010

Today was sunny. We walked up to Broad Brook on Parade Street and took pictures of ducks (mallards). We found garbage: a metal pole, electrical wire, hygene products, Tim Horton cups, chip bags, pieces of glass, styrofoam, plastic bags, pieces of green plastic, orange rubber, a firework. It was muddy. We talked from one side of
the road to the other. We timed how long it took for something to float from one side to the other. It took 2 min. 32 sec. We noticed green algae on the rocks where the water came out of a pipe.
