Key Question Two - Work booklet

PREPARATION FOR THIS WEEKS FIELD TRIP

This Thursday you will be heading out on a bus to visit three different sites on two local rivers to do your water sampling.  It is important that you are prepared and understand the different tests that you will be administering on the day.

Copies of the initial water testing methods you worked on in groups can be found here:

Water Testing Resources

You will need to ensure that you check these presentations against the information provided in the water testing kits - remember that these were prepared by you - students and that there may be important information missing.

Create your own guide for the tests that you will be conducting.

For each test you must have:

*  Aim - what does this test find out about?

*  Explanation of test

*  Step by step method - anyone should be able to pick up your information sheet and follow it

*  Space for results to be recorded

*  Hypothesis - What do you think you will find in the Utuhina Stream?

*  Reflective questions

You must have a good understanding of what each of these tests mean - investigate further what you would expect to find in a healthy stream.

Here is the student workbook that you will need to use to collect evidence towards your assessment for this unit of work.

Water testing

Water Testing

From our research we now know that there are a number of different factors that can contribute to telling us about the health of a stream.

Over the next two weeks we will be sampling 2 - 3 different streams in our Te Arawa rohe (region).  There are a range of different tests that can be used.... Your job is to now learn about the different tests and how to administer them!

You will be split into 7 groups

As a group you must prepare:

A step - by - step easy to understand guide for your classmates to be able to follow.  

It must be a digital presentation as it will need to be shared  with both FFL classes.

You have two periods to complete this!

See Ms Hill for the resources needed for this activity!

Field Trip Preparation

Field trip alert! 

Three Days until our first water testing session! 

You have until the end of Wednesday to complete the tasks in this google slide.  There is a lot of mahi to be done here ladies - but I know that you can do it.  

You will need to work in pairs for the most part - so make your choices carefully.  Choose a partner that you know you can work well with... it's not about being "Nice" to each other - but about making good learning decisions!  Pick some one who will challenge you to be a better learner today!
