    This document contains instructions and a form for collecting data during a stream lab involving two groups. The form includes fields to record the date and time, stream location using GPS coordinates, weather conditions, and results of tests measuring stream temperature, depth, velocity, turbidity, pH, dissolved oxygen, phosphates, and nitrates. Students are also asked questions about stream ecology concepts like limiting factors, watersheds, and the relationship between stream features and the types of organisms that can live there.
