Welcome to the Northwood High School Environmental Science Lab! In the following posts, I will be detailing the progress of our school’s water testing program, which was funded with a $5,000 mini-grant by the Ohio Environmental Education Fund (OEEF) through the Ohio EPA. Each blog post will address details of our specific program, and act as the Activity Closing Report for this project mini-grant. Join me in the water testing journey as I describe our activities, how you can replicate our project, exemplary learning experiences, highlights of our water testing activities, accomplishments toward educational objectives, and evaluation of the project. Please check back with my blog in the next few weeks to find out more! If you would like to start a water testing program at your school, you can contact Lara Fish on twitter @chasrabesh or by email at lfish@northwoodschools.org. Outdoor learning is one of the best ways to inspire youth to care about the future and connect with the community!

Awesome job teaching the kids about the life cycle of a stream, and testing. I have a small creek on my property, and I'm working hard to add ground covers to bare ground. I love watching water run clear from my property during rain; hate seeing when brown water starts up stream in the heavy rains.
ReplyDeleteThank you for your comment, Shari! We also believe in clean streams and have been working hard to get our prairie grass growing. We still have a ways to go! Check out the new "infinity loop" that was installed! https://youtu.be/Q-HSRB89ICs
