Conclusion

  • As my hypothesis stated, Sligo Creek was more polluted than Sleepy.
  • This probably is owed to the fact that we have more pollution because we live in an urban area. Urban areas have more pollution and litter.
  • Pollution is caused by bacteria, sewage, or chmicals.
  • Because both creeks drain into the Chesapeake Bay, the pollution in Sligo contributes to the pollution in the Bay.
  • I think that the pollution in Sligo is caused by bacteria in droppings and sewage. This could be a hypothesis for a new experiment.
