Chimacum Middle
School's
Water Quality Study
of
Chimacum
Creek(click
here)
- We will collect samples of Chimacum Creek macroinvertebrates
along with water samples. (October
- by the school and in March - Creek running through HJ Carroll Park).
- We will conduct the following tests:
- Dissolved oxygen (two kits and an Imagiprobe)
in the water,
- Nitrates and Phosphates in the water,
- Carbon Dioxide in the water,
- The water's pH level (kit and Imagiprobe),
- The water's hardness,
- Water's turbidity (Imagiprobe),
- Creek's flow rate (Imagiprobe),
- Water's Temperature (Imagiprobe),
- Fecal Coliform Bacteria presence in the water
(not sure if we can do this one),
- We will also classify all the macroinvertebrates (bugs)
that we collected.
- Now it's time to research your area of expertise to
share your results.
- Then read Ch
12, p. 394 to p. 403 and p. 411 to 418
for water information. Survey
the headings to find information that you need to take notes on.
(Each person in the group
will need to take their own notes for a grade.)
- When Mr. González teaches the
class searching techniques and tips, then you may begin looking
through the
sites he found as well as searching for
your own to add to your notes. (You
are doing this because your book will not have everything you need.)
- Once your notes are all done, begin storyboarding
your website.
- Design your website, which includes background
color, font color, and where you will want pictures. (The
entire team submits one storyboard so make sure that everyone participates.)
- Refer to the Water
Quality Project page that tells you what
you need on the website and check the rubric.
- Don't forget to save information for the bibliography.
- Start creating your website once Mr. González
has taught you how to begin.
