Effects of Beaver Dam on Streams Other Animals

• A Day as a Beaver
• We were interested in how a beaver dam affects
  the course of the river. To satisfy our
  curiosity, we walked down the stream and found 8
  beaver dams. Then, we also built a beaver dam to
  directly witness its effects.

What effects do the beavers activity have on
other animals?

Stream Chemistry and Wildlife

• Why are there different tadpoles in the same pool
  of water?
• I realized that the species of frogs are
  together, but different because the mothers use
  the other species eggs to hide their eggs for
  safety.

• Does a difference in pH, conductivity, or water
  temperature make a difference to where stream
  fauna live?
• We discovered that the tadpoles and minnows dont
  live together because the tadpoles like it hot
  and shallow and the minnows prefer cool, deep
  water.
