Abstract
Each year since 1986, the GVSU Annis Water Resources Institute has offered hands-on water quality sampling cruises for students in Grades 4-12, college students, and the general public. The water quality data from the cruises is for educational use only. The 2010 data set from Lake Michigan, Spring Lake and Muskegon Lake was subjected to statistical analysis. The purpose of the analysis was to define trends and help create tools for potential middle and high school teachers to use in future student coursework.
