Water Quality

Water quality is judged by how many contaminants are contained in the water sample. These contaminants can be benign or harmful. You can determine how clean your water is by conducting a visual examination and by conducting a chemcial analysis of the water.

Objective

Participants will develop an understanding and appreciation of water purification techniques and their implications for health maintenance.

Upon completion of the activities students will:
. explain how polluted water can be a source of disease
. illustrate how a lack of oxygen in water can kill fish
. interpret and explain the water cycle
. express ways of purifying water for drinking purposes
. differentiate ways in which the body uses water

Recommended Strategies

This P/A (Phenomenological Approach) lesson is based on the IDEAL

Problem Solving Method utilizing the following steps:
I - Identify the problem (What are you asked to do here?)
D - Define the problem (What are the parts? How related?)
E - Explore the possibilities (Interpret and analyze problem)
A - Act upon the possibilities (Plan and follow a strategy)
L - Look for results (Explain results from the strategy)
