Skylar Kaminsky U.R. - This weeks suspended solids lab

Before I begin about the lab, I would like to discuss two different things. First off my trip with STEM unfortunately, or fortunately, was canceled due to weather. Had managed to somehow leave we would have been stuck in Atlanta's airport. The second thing I would like to discuss is my project. Dr. Woodall has emailed Hector, the man who's idea to put a GoPro on an ROV (underwater remote operated vehicle), and he seemed very interested in continuing this idea. Now for the lab I took water samples from Gemini Springs Park the day before we were due to test them. My sample was from a spring so it had a salinity of zero. It also had an average turbidity of 2.78 NTU (Nephelometric Turbidity Units). The weight of my filter before I tested it was 2,741.9 mg and it weighed 2,751.6 mg after tested it - a difference of 9.7 mg.

Here is what our filters looked like.
