What the Celly Membrane (Cell Membranes and Water Filtration)?
Students will focus on the role of cell membranes and its role in water filtration.
Collection
Water
Water Cycle and EMWD Connection
Students will build a mini water cycle and connect it to their local watershed (EMWD).
Sources of Water
Students will explore various sources of water in Southern California through interactive activities such as map labeling and group discussions. This helps students to understand where their water comes from and why conserving water matters
Modeling Waste Water Treatment
Students will work in teams to "treat" a model of "sewage" with different processes and materials.
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.
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.
Greening Our Water Infrastructure
During a unit on scale drawings, proportional relationships and similar figures, we will explore the water infrastructure of SF. Students will use what they learn about green infrastructure to solve a real problem at their school.
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.
Water Quality Monitoring of Local Stream
Students will collect water samples from a local stream and measure various aspects of water quality.
