The purpose of this project is to see if elevation and latitude makes a difference in the types of the macroinvertebrates found in a freshwater ecosystem. we chose the two places because the schools had similar north and south latitudes (Navarre, Ohio, USA: 41.55N, 175m: Science Club of Huechulafquen, Chile: 39.79S 1,871 m). Our Hypothesis was that the macroinvertebrates are going to be similar in : both places. Our research began when we went out to the Maumee River to collect macroinvertebrates as seen on slides 14 +15. After that we looked up what data that science club Huechulafquen had. We found that data and compared it. Both locations had similar macroinvertebrates. Our Hypothesis was proven.
