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.
