Macroinvertebrates

The macroinvertebrate (small organisms found in aquatic systems) kit, designed for students in grades 3-12, provides all necessary field equipment to allow students to collect and identify aquatic organisms in their natural habitats. There are dip nets for sampling, sorting trays, collection jars with lids, and brushes to assist students in observing and discovering more about these creatures. Excellent identification sheets and dichotomous keys make identification easy for all ages without experience. Rubber boots, microscopes, and a water quality test kit are also available to create a full field lesson at any stream, pond, or wetland. A smaller macroinvertebrate sampling kit is also available that will serve 5-10 participants.
