Learners identify substances and activities within a household that contribute to water pollution and identify safe cleaning alternatives for commercial cleaning products.

Students, through a case study of actual water sources in Washington State, identify major sources of aquatic pollution. They also categorize pollutants, make inferences about the effects of pollutants on the environment and construct...

Students will perform experiments to examine if debris will float, or blow in the wind. They discuss the effects of these characteristics on marine debris.

Students describe different types of water pollutants. They complete experiments in which they observe the affects of water pollution on algae. They also brainstorm and list three causes of each water pollutant.

Students begin the experiment by mapping and calculating their school parking lot. They calculate the volume of water falling on the lot and map the route the water runoff takes. They discuss the roles that humans play in affecting water...

Pupils examine urban runoff and identify peak flows. They examine causes for different flow rates, and complete worksheets and a graph.

Students study the water quality of a stream in their area, by measuring the temperature, pH, alkalinity and conductivity. They integrate biology with earth science when using the microscope to study the living organisms in the water.

Students understand how farming practices and the topography of a region can effect the health and safety of all living things. Students play a game which helps them understand how the chemical Azatrine has spread in the watershed.

Students understnad the importance of keeping our rivers and streams pollution free by remembering the major rivers of northeast Kansas. The see how the rivers contain particles of every substance that drains into them.

Students understand the connections among people, places, and environments in the local school and community, Kansas and its surrounding states, the U.S. and its region, and the world.

Students gain an understanding of ways we can be responsible custodians of our water supply. Students explore the governor's clean water initiative involving the Lower Kansas/Republican river basin and the pollutants present there.

Young scholars investigate air and water pollution, and the conservation of natural resources.
