Getting Back Up to Speed

Hi All,

It has been a good week getting back on the science track as we move into water quality monitoring of the Strawberry Creek Watershed. We have reviewed the concept of a watershed, the scientific method, and introduced the first two criteria that we will be testing in the creek (i.e. temperature and dissolved oxygen).

Here is the homework for the following week:

For Monday, 11/12: Finish reading the Physical Properties of Streams and Stream Chemistry packet. The remaining sections are about pH and alkalinity.

Next Thursday, 11/15: TEST on the following items:
The Water Cycle
Watersheds
Scientific Method
Qualities of a Good Hypothesis
Stream Temperature
Dissolved Oxygen
pH
Alkalinity

The test will require you to be able to explain each concept and apply it to scenarios (when possible). We will spend time reviewing next Tuesday and Wednesday in Science Workshop. Please email me before then if you have questions.
