Use the hypothesis you developed for the first Rouge River lab. Most said that “the mixed leaf bag will be colonized by more macroinvertebrates”.

You are not testing water quality in this paper. You are just checking the number of macroinvertebrates colonized.

So, make the table and graph with the above in mind. The number colonized in each type of bag.

Make sure that there is an apt title for the paper indicating the study we conducted.

Give independent self-standing titles for graphs and tables. It should reflect what type of data is in the table and the graph.

Methodology/procedure should be written in the past tense.

Follow the rubric carefully and include it all in your paper.

You are not using the water quality hypothesis you used for the second Rouge River lab and classified the organisms according to the pollution tolerance for your table and graph. In this final paper,  you are looking at the total number colonized. So, when you make graphs and tables use the total number of macroinvertebrates in each type of bag or leaf content in each bag.
