Modeling Waste Water Treatment
Students will work in teams to "treat" a model of "sewage" with different processes and materials.

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.
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.
Water in, Water out, and everything in between
The teacher will open with exploratory questions about how the water we use is brought into the home, and added onto that will be an extension of, “where does it go when it exits the home?” After our introduction students will research different types of water filtration and make a poster.
Organizing for Environmental Justice in the Bayview
Students explore the Big 6 community leaders and their campaign to close the Heron’s Head power plant, learning strategies and theories of change used in successful activism.
What's My Water Footprint?
Students will learn about the importance of water, our water needs and usage, water treatments and conservation.
To Dam or Not to Dam
Students examine the proposed Danville Creek dam as a case study in water management, climate adaptation, and community impact. They research multiple perspectives, explore alternative solutions, and consider environmental, economic, and social factors in evaluating the project.
When is too much water?
Students explore how water is treated, stored, and conserved, using real-world scenarios to calculate volumes of aquifers and treatment storage.
