Macro invertebrates

Naperville Community Unit School District 203

The Forest Preserve District of DuPage County has a great program that helps Teachers and Students study the water quality using macro invertebrates. (Little spineless creatures that can be seen without a microscope)

On October 13, 2005, Ms. Kouri took her 4th and 5th graders to the west branch of the DuPage River.  They found a diversity of macro invertebrates that indicated that the water quality was in fair condition. See the worksheet at the bottom of the page.
