During this activity, students will learn how environmental engineers monitor water quality in resource use and design. They will employ environmental indicators to assess the water quality of a nearby stream. Students will make general observations of water quality as well as count the number of macroinvertabrates. They will then use the information they collected to create a scale to rate how good or bad the water quality of the stream. Finally, the class will compare their numbers and discuss and defend their results.

Join us for our last Zoo Science as Bruce and Henry show you how to make your own traditional beehive. UNITE teachers and students build beehives not only for the honey but also to help make sure their crops get pollinated. Bees are critical for pollinating approximately 1/3 of the food we eat.

Individual Assessment: Using what you’ve learned so far, come up with a model to explain this new phenomenon. Be sure to include all key components and interactions from your “Gotta Have It” checklist.
