Get Your Feet Wet! Intro to Water Quality
Students are introduced to the concept of water quality by examining real data. Then assess the impact of temperature on other water quality indicators. The lesson is intended to be an introduction to water quality, and followed by further exploration of water quality indicators and environmental aspects of hydrology in general. During the lesson the learners will be examining data in a gallery crawl / station rotation setting? The data was taken from the research station location on the southern coast of North Carolina at different time periods. By completing this lesson the students will be observation and analysis.
