Environmental Science comes to life with interacting plants and animals!
Funded Aug 15, 2023Initially, this purchase included Painted Lady butterfly larvae and grow media (food). Unfortunately, the supplier "CAROLINA BIOLOGICAL SUPPLY" was "out of stock" with these 2 items and sent me a credit that I used for next Unit I teach; Earth's Resources.
Wonderful news!
Students were able to model what environmental/chemical engineers and Oklahoma Water Resources staff perform with their job duties.
Students performed water testing (from Lake Overholder; the lake that is a 2-minute walk from our school), after we all walked to the lake and secured buckets of lake water.
Tests included (1) total alkalinity (2) turbidity (3) phosphates (4) nitrates (5) pH and (6) dissolved oxygen!
Thank you for your generous donations!!!”
With gratitude,
Mr. Mills
