From Booklist
A square-foot area of stream water may be home to 4,000 aquatic insect larvae and stream invertebrates. Microscopic plankton provides food for the insects and can be collected with a plankton net and observed through a compound microscope. Water temperature and depth determine the kinds of fish found in various stream sections, and students may investigate to find out what lives where. This project and experiment book considers these and several other issues of inland stream and river ecosystems. The well-written, generally well-illustrated text provides abundant information beyond the activities. Mapping a stream with transect lines, cutting channels through a model streambed, and testing soil, as well as several insect and plant investigations, make up some of the more than 30 activities, several of which are probably better as teacher-led classroom projects due to their complexity. Students will find the information useful for research and several of the activities doable for fairs. Teachers may be able to put some of the offerings to use. Excellent glossary, appendixes illustrating tools and equipment, and resource lists. Anne O'Malley
