Students around the United States and other countries will collect samples from local ponds to answer the question: Are the organisms found in pond water the same all over the world?  Participants will:

• Identify organisms in a water sample.
• Compare their findings with other participating classes.
• Determine which, if any, of the organisms are the same in other, more distant water sources.
• Look for relationships and trends in the data collected by all project participants.
