Testing Omaru Creek

Testing Omaru Creek

I am going to find out the differences in colour smell and turbidity of Omaru creek

I am going to test this by comparing different water  samples  from different locations along Omaru Creek.

Resources and equipment:

Buckets jars paper

Smell:

	Prediction	Observation
Seawater	I think the water will be Salty	It smells like Bad fish (too me)
Tap water	I think the water will be Fresh clean water	It smells like Fresh clean water
Omaru Creek water by culvert	I think the water will be Oily  rubbish	It smelt like Dead fish (too me)
Omaru Creek water by bridge	I think the water will be Disgusting	It smelt nice (but when you shake it and smell it as soon as it opens)
Side of the lake	I think the water will be kind of fresh	It smelt like fish (to me)

My conclusion (what I found out): I found out that most of my predictions were very  close to my prediction.

Colour:

	Prediction	Observation
Seawater	I think the water will be clearish	It looked clear
Tap water	I think the water will be clear	It looked clear
Omaru Creek water by culvert	I think the water will be oily leafy heaps rubbish	It looked like there was heaps oily leafy heaps rubbish
Omaru Creek water by bridge	I think the water will be clearish	It looked kind of dirty
Side of lake	I think the water will be clearish	It looked clearish

My conclusion (what I found out): That my predictions were not too far from the observation.

Turbidity:

	Prediction	Observation
Seawater	I thought it would be see through (kind of)	It was Totally see through
Tap water	I thought it would be see through	It was see through
Omaru Creek water by culvert	I thought it would not clear at all	It was not clear at all
Omaru Creek water by bridge	I thought it would be see through kind of	It was not clear
Side of the lake	I thought it would be clear	It was cloudy

My conclusion (what I found out):I found out that the water always  moves along the stream so the oil can get to the bridge.
