Draft 1 - Our Water World: Life In and Around Western's Creek

Our idea is to test the affects of phosphate levels, depth of water, current speed and temperature on the insects and plants in and around the creek. We will begin by setting three equal test points depth, current, and temperature. Before beginning we will measure, map the area and test the pH levels of the creek. We predict that there will be more plant and animal life in the areas where the water is deeper and more neutral. Although we will conduct this experiment in three different areas with different depths, we don't think the depth of the areas will vary greatly.
