Teacher Resources for the Event
We understand that running a field based sampling event with students requires careful pre-planning and identifying the necessary resources. To support our educators we have put together many resources to help make your sampling event run smoothly. The page contains material to watch, review and print for the field! Please contact us if you have any questions Rebecca Houser and Margie Turrin.

To better support our teachers and educators we have developed a Teacher Master Recording Packet. Thist includes a complete description of each protocol, what it means and why it is included in this event, and the equipment and supplies needed. We also included examples of entries to guide your submission.
We have also organied a list of supplies, you will need for your day at the river, possible vendors and approximate costs. Participants do not need to do all the tests, and some supplies will be provided by the Day in the Life Team: sediment corer, and quantabs for low salinity sites. Please contact us with equipment questions.
