Wetlands
have
received
wastewater
discharges
from
many
different
situations
in
the
past,
but
only
recently
have
they
been
recognized
as
potentially
cost-efficient
treatment
systems.
They
can
effectively
remove
or

large
quantities
of
pollutants
from
point
sources

The
purpose
of
this
activity
is
to
observe
the
type
and
cover
of
clouds
including
contrails.
Students
observe
which
of
ten
types
of
clouds
and
how
many
of
three
types
of
contrails
are
visible
and
how
much
of
the
sky
is
covered
by
clouds
(other
than
contrails)
and
how
much
is
covered
by
contrails.
Intended
outcomes
are
that
students
learn
how
to
make
estimates
from
observations
and
how
to

how
to
log
atmosphere
data
using
a
Davis
weather
station.
A

at
15-minute
intervals
and

Students
can
view
data
for
their

The purpose of this resource is to teach students about the acidity levels of liquids and other substances around their school so they understand what pH levels tell us about the environment. Students will create mixtures of water samples, soil samples, plants and other natural materials to better understand the importance of pH levels.

to
develop
an
understanding
of
how
water
flows
through
different
soils
and
how
it
is
transformed
when
it
flows
through
these
soils.
Students
time
the
flow
of
water
through
different

also
the
filtering
