What's In Our Water?

My Students

I work in a small, rural PreK-8 school in Tennessee with some awesome kiddos. I teach 6th grade math and science because those are the greatest subjects! 6th Grade is peculiar because my students range in their growth rates with some students standing 4'8" tall and other standing 6'2" tall.

While they look quite different, all my 6th graders enjoy learning about real life math and science in a hands-on way.

I want to give them a year they will never forget.

My Project

The science lab materials I have requested will allow my 6th grade students to collect, measure, and test local water samples from our faucets, ponds, rivers, and streams. We will test for water quality and pollution.

My students need to realize the impact humans have on the water we depend on daily for survival.

I want my students to see how plants, animals, and people have affected our water supply. Allowing them to be environmental scientists will encourage conservation and eco-friendly habits while also helping them learn their science standards. We may even discover things about our water supply along the way!
