Chemical Water Quality Field Research Project
by Amanda Stalvey
Built as a month long, end of year project, students get to discover the water quality of several geographically different natural water sources by completing field research and data collection. As a student centered project, students will research how to use different water quality testing probes, then conduct online and book research to better understand what water quality is and how it is affected by various contaminants, chemicals and the environment. Using their research and field data, students share their results with each other and write a cumulative water quality report in which they compare and rank the natural water sources they test to each other for safety and environmental impact.

This lesson is a whole unit on energy. It can be broken up into 10 separate lessons. I chose to put them all together so that it was easier to see how I organized them so you did not have to search
