IBDP BIOLOGY COURSE TEKE STREAM AND DSI LAKE FIELD TRIP Our Grade 12 Students went on a field trip to DSI Lake and Teke Stream on June 21, 2014 under the framework of the IBDP Biology Course Internal Assessment. In order to get information on the water quality of the area, water quality parameter measurements were conducted. Students analysed the results and compared them to results of the last years. Some random samples were collected in order to examine plant diversity and range with the quadrat technique and based on these samples, students did a comparative analysis. Our students also conducted measurements of organisms in Teke Stream and DSI Lake. They examined the samples of spineless macro organisms and then released them back into nature with the minimum destruction. The trip was completed successfully with the maximum respect to other organisms’ living space and minimum human destruction. We would like to thank everyone who participated.
