Results

Each sample was collected from the Santa Fe Watson Center; specifically the water was collected from water located at the end of drainspouts. Where the water was collected alternated between plastic and concrete and we wanted to see if we could observe a difference. So we conducted this experiment to to determine if the material and location of where the water was collected would make a difference. Each site where we collected our samples were noticeably different. Sample one was collected on plastic and contained the most green algae. There was less water at each sample site as we moved down the building. For our last sample almost no water was present, but a good amount of sand was at the location.
