An investigation to disprove or support the null hypothesis that there is no correlation between the oxygen content of the water and the number of Stonefly and Mayfly in the water being tested Apparatus Fishing net 500 cm in diameter, tape measure, pen, results sheet, bowl, steel pole, 1 ball of string, stopwatch, 3 tree leaves, oxygen meter, universal indicator paper, thermometer, wellington boots. Method Go to the nearest river to test the amount of Stonefly and Mayfly in different places.
