Salinity - 0 Salinity
Dissolved Oxygen - 12.7 mg/L

Nitrate - 0 Nitrate
pH -
My Experience:
This was my first time ever doing water testing. I never had any experience with it. My comfort level with gathering gathering data in the field would be a 9 out of 10. I was a little worried about falling in the water or breaking the equipment but I was mostly comfortable since we were told what we had to do. We were also given a sheet of what we were supposed to do just incase we forgot.
Classroom Learning vs. Field Learning:
Of course, field learning is better than classroom learning. I feel that if we were learning this in the classroom the teacher would have already have most of the experiment setup so we wouldn't have the full experience. I think we learned more doing the field learning and doing everything ourselves.
