Draft 1: minnows reaction to specific chemicals

Our group is going to study the reaction and survival rates of the minnows in the Western Creek when specific chemicals are added to the water. A couple of questions that we are going to answer are:

1. What will be the reaction to the minnows when certian chemicals are added?

2. How long will the minnows survive with the chemical addition?
