Dr. Wright and her group actually went to the creeks for testing. The results were that both creeks had a PH of 7.5. While Chester Creek is downstream and Ridley Creek is upstream, Dr. Wright discovers that, “Chester is not all bad” considering Chester has city components and a treatment plant while Ridley is in a park area.

ReplyDeleteAs being one of the participants of the Science Fair, this visit was pretty exciting. Nothing but anxiety and patience. We ended up winning and actually being picked. Our project (Egg-Citing 2) came in third!!!
