Connections

• Our items made sense considering the fact that we
  were in a residential area. There were probably a
  lot of families in the area who have created
  litter in the park.
• What we didnt find? We didnt see any life
  surrounding the stream.

Conclusion

• What does our data mean? Peoples attitudes in
  the area toward litter reflect that they might
  not be as careful as they should be.
• What types of data could we collect if we went
  back? pH, temperature, stream flow, air quality,
  dissolved oxygen.
• How has this investigation affected your
  perception of the area or activities around the
  river? We expected to see more trash than we
  did. People should be responsible for their
  actions.
