Round up that pond water! We are testing pond water compared to regular water that has been treated to see which water is healthier. Students will receive bonus marks for bringing in natural freshwater. We will use this water to examine various indicators such as turbidity, nitrates and phosphates, temperature, biological species present and so on. Currently we are completing a chart of indicators to determine water's health and will do a lab to test all kinds of water we receive. According to the Water Department in Washington, NC, sedimentation or turbidity is the larger problem affecting North Carolina fresh waters.
Homework for this week is as follows:
Monday night: Pg. 530 all Review and Reflect questions
Tuesday night: Begin study guide - definitions on pg. 553 (all)
Wednesday night: Finish water health indicator lab if not already finished; continue with study guide
Thursday night: Finish web (if not already done), pg. 537 questions (all); finish study guide
Friday: study guide due
A few students have not finished paragraphs or the previous study guide from Chapter 16. Students need to turn this in by Wednesday October 19th so I can put in grades for report cards.
