Belleville Eighth Graders Study Passaic River

This month, students in Belleville Middle School Grade 8 science classes completed a study on the Passaic River.

Watershed Ambassadors Bhavin Mistry and James Preisendanz taught  students about macroinvertebrates as biological indicators with water samples were taken from the Passaic River.

After tallying and using the BIBI Biological Index formula, students found out that the Passaic River samples show a rating of Fair. 

Students grew to appreciate how important it is to maintain high standards for our water quality. 

Belleville Middle School students have been invited to participate in a stream clean up organized by the Watershed Ambassadors.
