Drains to Harbour Field Trip to Hodges Park



When I reached Hodges Park, I wanted to catch bugs.
First, we did the clarity teast. It looked fun because we had
to see if the water was clear or not.
We filled the plastic see-through tube up with water from the stream. 
Next we put the magnet inside and we screwed the lid on. 
Harriet slid the magnet along the tube.
Charli and Hannah looked through the tube until they couldn’t see 
the magnet any more.
harroet looked at the numbers on the tube outside. It was 82cm.
That means the water was clear.

My team and Kaea caught a fresh water crayfish and a snail.
I went to the stream with the net. I lifted a rock. It super slippery.
I found another fresh water crayfish but it escaped by using its pincers to
snap the rope.

We found out that the stream was healthy.
