Students develop a process for analyzing collected bayou data. They find the mathematical relationships among various biological factors. Students, work collaboratively using technology in their data analysis.

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 examine water quality on a nearby stream. They collect water samples and test for various factors, including any contamination from the treatment plant, and present their information in a Powerpoint presentation.

Eighth graders analyze different water samples given to them by their teacher.

Students examine the effects of nitrates and phosphates on the dissolved oxygen levels in different water sources. In this series of 3 lessons, they consider the reasons for nitrate and phosphate level increases and their effects on...

Students examine how they affect water quality of those who live downstream after identifying rivers and river basins in Kansas.

Learners identify major rivers in Kansas, identify the direction which they flow and identify tributaries of the Kansas River. Students examine what occurrences upstream influence water quality downstream.
