A perfect complement to your AP Environmental curriculum!
This extensive "curriculum-in-a-box" will provide your class with a detailed exploration of six primary environmental science topics. Your students will investigate air, water and soil pollution as well as their causes, effects and treatment processes. Each investigation includes materials for forty students along with comprehensive teacher and student guides. AIR POLLUTION - Learn how air pollution occurs and how it can be prevented. Your students will collect and identify airborne pollutants. They'll also conduct a variety of analysis and treatment techniques. WATER QUALITY TESTING - Your class will test water samples for major pollutants. They'll also learn how to quantify the concentration of pollutants to assess a sample's quality. TOXICITY TESTING - Gain insigut into the impact of "real world" contaminants on plants and pondlife. Students will learn how to quantify the damage done by these toxic substances as well as their lethal dosages. WATER & WASTEWATER TREATMENT - Model the typical purification techniques used by water treatment plants and learn about the path that water takes in preparation for our use and consumption. SOLID WASTE MANAGEMENT - Your students will learn how landfills are used and the effects that climate, water and soil type have on their success. SOIL ANALYSIS - Learn about soil, its major components, its physical characteristics and how it is analyzed for chemical composition and potential contaminants. Your students will conduct actual soil tests for acidity, nitrogen, potassium and phosphate content.
