JMSS First Assembly of 2026

Year 10 Aquatic Fieldwork

The Year 10 Aquatic Fieldwork Science class spent a wonderful morning in February at the Jock Marshall Reserve on Monash University's Clayton campus. 

Students used sampling nets to collect macroinvertebrates (e.g. insects) from a lake, and identified them under the microscope. 

They also analysed water samples for pH, nitrogen, phosphorus and salinity levels to assess the health of the lake ecosystem.
