About Us

Bibliography

Joe and Colton are two sixth

graders that tested the amount

of fecal coliform in Chimacum

Creek. So we went to the creek

and collected water samples and

brought them back to the classroom.

Then the real work came, we took

the samples and started testing.

Fecal Coliform is one of the most

difficult water quality tests to do.

You have to be almost perfect

we can't touch anything that the

bacteria grows on or the test

results will not be accurate. Joe

and Colton would like to thank you

for using our website as a resource.
