Learning Through Leaf Packs: Chemical Testing to Assess Water Quality (Lesson 8 of 8)
This is an 8-lesson unit that is designed to be used together to learn about the health and diversity of your local watershed by placing leaf packs into a water source (natural or man-made ponds, lakes, streams, and rivers) and attracting macroinvertebrates. This is the final lesson in a series of 8. Links to lessons and resources are included.
Students test water quality in this engaging lesson. If you do not live close to a water source, the Leaf Pack Network has an online simulation. They will collect results and create a Google Slides presentation to describe the test, how it was performed and what it revealed about the water quality of the sources.
