Water pollution has wide-reaching impacts on both wildlife and human populations. Contamination can enter the water supply from factories that discharge waste directly into a body of water. In this experiment, students will test simulated water samples to determine what contamination is present, and which factories contribute.
• Introduce students to the importance of clean water for aquatic and terrestrial ecosystem diversity
• Perform water quality investigations to determine the site of water pollution
• Discuss real world problems and identify solutions
