Our project investigates the relationship between water temperature and dissolved oxygen (DO) levels in water. We measured dissolved oxygen across a range of temperatures and plotted the results on line graphs. The graph revealed a clear pattern between DO and water temperatures, supported through our evidence. This demonstrated how temperature affects oxygen availibility for aquatic life.
Well conducted experiment measuring dissolved Oxygen in tap water. However your ideas that you listed in your What’s Next section are great ideas to continue your project. In your research you listed fish that needed higher levels of dissolved oxygen in the water they live in. Why does this happen? Since you are in the 10th grade you still have two more years in high school to continue this project. Thanks for allowing me to judge your project.
