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.
Extracting Energy From Waste Water
Burning hydrogen gas from water to demonstrate how wastewater can be utilized as a source of energy to reduce our reliance on fossil fuels.
Exploring Hydroelectricity
Students design and build water wheels to investigate how the elevation of a water source affects energy generation, collect and analyze data, and connect their findings to real-world hydroelectric power production.
Rube Goldberg Machine - Water Filtration Analysis
Students analyze real SVCWD data to calculate water properties, flow rates, and energy use throughout the wastewater treatment process, apply dimensional analysis and engineering reasoning, and evaluate efficiency and costs through hands-on activities and group projects.
