Biology

=Trout Release= - Visual Assessment of stream for trout habitat (hypothesis) - Scientific Assessment of stream for trout habitat
 * Biotic Analysis: Macro Invertebrate - attach citizen monitoring sheet
 * Abiotic Analysis: DO; pH; nitrate; NH3
 * Need table of 3 measurements
 * Bar graph of 3 measurements average
 * Bar graph of optimum measurement next to averages
