Objective
The group of lessons are meant to be interdisciplinary lessons with a melding of science, math and writing. The following lessons provide thoughtful exercises that can be expanded on or taken in pieces for specific skills that may need to be addressed. When taken together the lessons will provide a real life scenario that will interest the students since the situations contain information about the world around them that is changing. Certainly, the topic of what is in our water, did we put it there, how long will it stay there, and is it safe to go swimming or to drink the water should be of interest to the students.
