Modeling Waste Water Treatment
Students will work in teams to "treat" a model of "sewage" with different processes and materials.
Journey to Clean Water: Hands-on Water Filtration
During this interactive lesson, students will explore different water saving strategies through group activities, hands-on activities, and presentation.
Bottled Water Myth
Students will explore the differences between bottled water and tap water, focusing on cost, quality, and environmental impact. Through interactive activities and mathematical calculations, they will learn why tap water is a better choice both economically and environmentally.
Building Earthquake Safe Structures in SF
Students will explore the geology of San Francisco and learn about the different soil types throughout San Francisco. They will use their knowledge of the different soil types to build earthquake safe buildings for each of them.
Human Impact & Water Conservation
Having students end our Human Impact unit by creating a model of their own usage of water at home or even throughout the day/week. Students will design a solution to better conserve water themselves or their community by analyzing the date from the model they created.
Reduce, Reuse, Recycle
Students will understand how humans depend on Earth’s natural resources, how these resources are unevenly distributed, and how people further affect their distributions.
Restoration Evaluation
Students will be able to observe and measure the built wetlands habitat and describe the ecosystem interactions as well as evidence of resilience.
Science and Wastewater Management
Students will explore innovative interactive lesson ideas on water management, engaging in hands-on activities and collaborative projects to understand the importance of sustainable practices in conserving and protecting water resources.
