Reflection Report
This project was an eye opener for all of us, we all enjoyed working together and learning new things. When I first started this project with Berks Nature, I thought it was going to be hard, there was a lot of steps we had to take to test the water. I never knew that all of these tests were done to make sure the water is in good shape. I actually enjoyed testing the water, it was a different type of experience for me. I never thought I would learn how to test the water and be able to document the information for the world to see. I’m glad I got to work with my group members in helping the environment.

When starting this project with Berks Nature, I never imagined having such a big impact and learning experience with this service project. I learned about how to properly test waters for different nutrients and chemicals. Although I didn’t have that much interest in the recording of the measurements, I found it valuable to know these steps and how valuable it was to have the readings recorded so that other scientist can use it to better our water quality! It was a new understanding of the topic of water conservation. Specially after being raised near the ocean, I can now incorporate my experience and knowledge into making smarter decisions and trying to educate my friends and family on the subject as well. It was definitely one of a kind experience that I will carry with me forever.

Completing this project was not like anything I’ve ever done before. Since we were able to physically get involved in the health of our community, the information that we learned was much more meaningful and impactful. I really enjoyed doing this project.
