After going to the Artist Boat field trip for the second time, I have learned various things from this experience. First of all, it was very fun to get in the water and kayak plus we almost went near a snake too! After kayaking, we tested for turbidity in the water. I learned that turbidity is how clear the water or contaminated it is. We took a sample of water and put it in a turbidity tube with a secchi disk.  We then poured out the water until we could see the disk. It turns out that the trinity water is not as clear which tells us to step up and do something about it. This is the main thing I learned at the field trip and would like to contribute to making the water healthier for all of us.
