Connecticut Department of Environmental Protection
The CT DEP has a user-friendly protocol for sampling and identifying benthic macroinvertebrates as a way of determining water quality in a “wade-able” stream. It is designed for volunteer groups in CT but could be adapted for local classroom use. Their website provides down-loadable identification cards and instructions, including a detailed equipment list. The equipment itself can be assembled from household items, plus a scientific supply company or one of the sources above.
[If you are interested in sampling benthic macroinvertebrates, there is MUCH more information available, but this is a good manageable starting point.]
