The conductivity decreases as one moves in the lake from the shore. This is probably due to less dissolved ions compared to the lake shore.
- Is there any further explanation?

Hi Joseph and the team. It is nice to read your research. Great team work.

- when you say that "when temperature is high, more aquatic life exist in the lake" within what range?? what are some of the aquatic life that thrive in the high temperature??
Remember very high water temperature can be harmful to aquatics, limits the amount of dissolved oxygen.

I look forward to reading more of your science projects!

Hello! You have a very interesting topic that you wanted to study and I can see that you put a lot of effort into collecting data and analyzing your results.

I am wondering, what do you think the effect of variations in temperature and conductivity would have on animal life in addition to plant life? What other research could your data be used for?
