Science Datasheets

RiverWatch provides all the data collection materials on-site

The actual paperwork required for data collection out on the river amounts to just one sheet. The idea is to keep things simple - less to lose and less to get wet. No booklets - just one long sheet of paper.

Everything Is Provided

On the day of the field trip, RiverWatch will provide a datasheet along with a clipboard and a pen-on-a-string. Students won't have to bring any paper, binders or writing tools.

One For You and One For Us

The RiverWatch datasheets produce carbonless copies. Teachers take the top white sheet back to school and RiverWatch keeps the bottom yellow copy. Each raft group will complete one datasheet. Back at school, students use the datasheet to enter their data on-line to this web site.

A copy of the datasheet is provided here for your interest. A quick look at this page will probably tell you a lot about the intent of a day with RiverWatch!
