Class wades into Curtis Creek project
"We're basically just looking at the quality of the water in the stream," Rideout said, "and the biology, the bugs and animals," which tells a scientist a lot about the environment.The project is to familiarize the kids with the use of high tech data gathering equipment and scientific field work Rideout explained. To that end, the class borrowed several high tech hand held devices from the N.C. State University Science House. Looking like a cross between a Start Trek "tricorder" and a GPS navigation device, the machines allowed the field scientists to measure the rate of flow, the oxygen levels and check for many kinds of pollution quickly and accurately.
