Session 1 Fieldwork on the foreshore includes identifying and recording invertebrates, fish and birds within a survey area to assess the health of the river. On the riverside pupils collect environmental data and water quality is assessed by chemical analysis.
Session 2 Indoor activities include observing and recording of live specimens using keys and microscopes. Pupils use scientific resources to investigate food chains, adaptations to different habitats and the impact of pollution on populations.
