A Community-Based Classroom Study - "How do scientists measure the water quality of our local wetlands and rivers?" This question was demonstrated by Ipswich-Rowley Rotarians in a brief water quality field study, and then presented to Pine Grove 5 thgraders in a classroom inquiry. Students used the professional water quality meter, shared by the Parker River Clean Water Association, to determine the overall health of the Mill River watershed.
