These three lessons focus on the effect of fluctuations of temperature on aquatic life. Topics include effects on the growth and survival rate of aquatic plants, how the metabolic rate of clams is affected by a change in temperature, and the optimal temperature for the hatching and development of brine shrimp eggs.

In this lesson, students assess the causes and effects of massive arsenic contamination in the water supplies of 43 of Bangladesh's 64 districts. Students evaluate why this contamination occurred, how it affects the population of Bangladesh, and why this environmental catastrophe is proving so difficult to solve.

This
module
engages
students
in
the
use
of
a
clean
room
and
in
the
planning
of
assembly
of
solar
collector
wafers
for
the
Genesis
space
mission.
They
will
work
in
production
design
teams
to
explore
how
the
Genesis
spacecraft
will
collect
bulk
solar
wind
with
the
collector
arrays
and
learn
to
work
as
a
team
in
a

The purpose of this activity is to observe, document, and classify changes in visibility and sky color over time and to understand the relationship between sky color, visibility, and aerosols in the atmosphere. The intended outcome is that students become aware of the changes in visibility and sky color due to particles suspended in the air.

The
purpose
of
this
activity
is
to
measure
ozone
concentrations
at
ground
level.
Students
deploy
a
strip
of
paper
that
changes
color
in
the
presence
of
ozone.
They
use
an
ozone
reader
to
determine
the
amount
of
ozone
in
ppb
as
indicated
by
the
color
change
of
the
paper
strip.
Intended
outcomes
are
that
students
will
learn
to
measure
the
concentrations
of
ground-level
ozone
in
the
atmosphere

The
purpose
of
this
activity
is
to
determine
the
amount
of
moisture
input
to
the
local
environment
by
measuring
rain
and
snowfall
and
to
measure
the
pH
of
precipitation.
To
do
so
students
use
a
rain
gauge
and
a
snowboard
to
measure
the
daily
amount
of
precipitation.
Special
pH
measuring
techniques
for
precipitation
are
used
to
determine
the
pH
of
rain
and
melted
snow.

this
resource
is
to
record
daily
measurements
of
maximum,
minimum,
and
current
air
and
soil
temperatures
at
a
common
site.
One
temperature
probe
is
placed
inside
the
instrument
shelter
while
another
is
installed
at
a
10
cm
depth
in
the
soil.
A
digital

is
used
to
measure
current
temperatures
as
well
as
daily
