  • WAMS students model water pollution

    Posted by Katherine Miller on 3/21/2023
    In the 7th grade, students have been learning about water pollution and today they planned and carried out an investigation to see how landforms create watersheds and impact pollution. 
    Students used aluminum foil to model watersheds, a spray bottle for precipitation, food coloring for point source pollution, cocoa powder for non point source pollution.  Paper clips and binder clips represented houses, apartment buildings, and more. 
     
    Students practiced a great number of skills including collaborating with others, drawing a model, comparing and contrasting, and more!
