Phase III - Watersheds
Joining forces with their local sanitation district and local water district, students will investigate the processes that occur as wastewater is dealt with and how ground water is prepared for human consumption. Speakers from both those agencies will travel to the classroom to act as investigation leaders and resources. With help from those scientists, the students will develop a working model of how humans benefit from and impact the water cycle. Students will also use a ROV (remote operating vehicle) as a water collection device to evalute the health of a body of water in their watershed.
