Students examine specific skills in assessing water quality from a holistic approach. They assess the health of a local watershed and identify problems in the local watershed and suggest remediation.

In this acids and bases worksheet, students will complete a Venn diagram by comparing and contrasting the characteristics of acids and bases.

For this concrete girder worksheet, students use water, sand, cement and gravel to construct concrete girders. Students vary the proportions of the mixtures and label each concrete girder with the mixture's components.

Students identify and analyze how acid rain can affect the environment. They then explain how air, water, and pollution interact and conduct pH tests to find acidity levels in water. Finally, students become "Pollution Watch Reporters"...

Students define the term acid rain, and the causes of acid rain. They locate regions where acid rain is most affected, and what can students deduce from maps of geology and soils in New York State. Students answer the questions why are...

Students determine the pH level of water and its effect on aquatic plants and brine shrimp eggs. This is a three part lesson that leads the student through the development of an understanding of water pH. They form a hypothesis and are...
