Fifth grade students at Trinity School in Atlanta, GA test a local creek during Science Lab to determine if runoff from several adjacent parking lots have had any adverse affect on the water quality. The program, called **//River Kids//**, tests the water in the creek monthly throughout the school year to observe any fluctuations in the health of the creek.


 * //River Kids//** analyze several characteristics of the water each month including testing for the current levels of dissolved oxygen (DO), pH, conductivity, temperature, or macro-invertebrate diversity. Various other River Kids roles that the students assume responsibility for include litter patrol, equipment manager, or photographer.
