Rivertime Extravaganza!

So we went to the river and did a lot of stuff. Well, I picked up trash, but other people did lots of interesting things with measurements and strings and flow and all that info.

This map that follows is a map of clam concentrations on the river. From this map, we learned that clams like more shallow water. The deeper water had fewer clams. We also learned that birds or other animals will dig up the clams on the sand banks/bars and eat them, which is why there were no living clams sometimes.

The second map is the river transec map. I was not part of the group that collected this data, so I made the map with four equally divided parts in order to give an estimation of the number of feet across the river. By comparing the map I have made with the graph that follows it, it becomes easy to see the shape of the river bottom.
