Today, the Urban Naturalists did some pond scooping to discover what types of things are found in the water at Roger Williams Park. Assessing what plants and animals we find in the water can tell us how clean it is. To do this, we used nets to scoop up "muck" off the bottom of the pond and sifted through to see what critters were common in the water.
We found some type of eggs on many of the leaves! Here is a shot of them through a microscope. It was hard to photograph them, but we talked about how microscopes aided us in our discoveries this day.
