Flow Rate: Flow rate= Distance / Time
 For example, If the distance was 100ft and the time it took the bottle to float the distance was 1 min, then the flow rate would be 100ft/min.


Elevation of River bottom:
 Elevation was found by using two poles with 6 inch distance marks on each pole. Then a string was attached to the poles. To find the distance the poles were place away from each other at the length of the string. Then the string was adjusted to find the elevation inclines or declines along the river bottom.


Clam collection data:
  In order to get clams, we shoveled river bottom into the sequentially smaller nets. The bigger objects, like the clams were filtered out and we were able to observe them.
