  Our Bear Creek field trip  We took action by going to Bear Creek Park to learn more about our water supply. We met with some representatives from S.P.R.E.E. (South Platte River Education Experience) to learn more. When we went to Bear Creek Park we learned about the contaminants and how they effect the animals living in and around our water supply. We learned about phosphates and nitrates and where they come from. The source of these contaminants is household waste and dead matter. When those contaminants reach high levels in the water supply Algae begins to grow. The Algae then takes all of the oxygen in the water so then the all of the aquatic animals won't be able to breathe.
