Healthy Water?

My students need 6 water quality test kits.

I want to capture and rope back in the lost scientist in the class of 2011. I teach environmental science for eleventh graders. It is a mixed class of special education students and middle to low achieving students that are not expected to attend college. My school is rural, and a high-need community.  Most parents have only a high school education and do not expect to send their children to college. The students tend to accept this course of life without challenge.  However, I would like to inspire the students to see there are exciting things they can do and pursue in science and around them. I also would like them to leave class with an awareness of their environment around them and how to protect it.

These students have not had much hands on science due to lack of funds in school.  Most will have their very first lab experience this year.  They do not understand many scientific terms because they have not had any visual or tactile experience. Also, they do not see the need to become involved in it because they do not know how it effects their life.

I need the six water quality test kits to give them hands-on experience testing, recording, and analyzing the water they live with.  This helps them to see the different properties. They learn how it is tested. They learn what determines water to be safe and clean. Students will know first hand local water quality. It teaches them value and how should they treat it and protect it. It teaches them that data is important. Finally if shows them how to do a real scientific investigation.

Your donation of the kits will spark and ignite their interest in at least one real scientific experience.  It will give them a unique experience that they will remember every time they think about the water they are using.
