Doggie Parks and Pollution

This lab was extremely convenient for me to attend since I live right across from Macon's magnificent Dog Park. I often glance out of my kitchen window and am greeted with the site of perfectly contented puppies playing in the distance. But enough about my life, on to the content of the lab!

We examined the water found in the little stream that runs through the heart of the park. After hearing about the possible dangers and extra contaminants urban creeks are susceptible to, we took samples from different locations along the stream and from a contributing creek as well. 


The topic of community was also discussed, for dog parks lend themselves to the creation of friendships and neighborly bonds.
