Let's Take a Dip! Interactive virtual creek dip -Creeks have flowing
water and currents. Fast-moving streams are found in areas with mountains or
hills. Slow moving streams are found in flatter areas, such as coastal
plains. Creeks are generally smaller than rivers. DIRECTIONS: To take your
first dip, position your mouse pointer over the number 1 button on the left
side of the screen. Then click ONCE with your left mouse button. Be patient,
your catch will appear on the blue side of the screen. Remember to record
your catch on the datasheet. Repeat ten times by clicking buttons 1 through
10 (once each) and then move on to the next habitat by clicking on the 'Next
Area' words under the habitat picture. Note: you may catch the same critter
more than one time. Be sure to tally it every time you catch it. |
