Investigating Water

Water, Water, Everywhere


Last Thursday, as part of ongoing science unit on water use and water quality, the 5-6s collected samples from various locations in and around SK.

Eva and Niko make observations of their water sample.

Then, on Tuesday, we had a class discussion about the kinds of observations they made and whether or not those observations were objective or subjective.









Water from all around Summers-Knoll, including samples from Karl's fish tank,
the water fountain, the sink drain, the toilet, Mallett's Creek, and
much, much more. 

A sample from the gutters of S-K. A guiding question: Would you be willing to drink this? Why or why not? 

Collecting a sample from nearby Mallett's Creek
We'll be learning how to analyze these samples in different ways in the days and weeks ahead.
