SSI is the seven week science program that I am in at the University of Wisconsin-Madison campus. I am currently in the second year program. My group, currently of four students (Frank, Shawn, Majiedah and me) and two mentors (Tammie and Becca), is working on a LIMNOLOGY (that's for my bio teacher, who dreamed of becoming a limnologist) project. In this project, we hope to determine if there is a correlation between distance from what we believe to be a source creek and diversity of aquatic macroinvertebrates. We also are looking to see if water quality correlates to land use near certain streams. All the creeks tested will be in the Baraboo Hills region of Wisconsin.
