Section outline

  • Learning Outcome

    Explain the significance of different separation techniques used in water testing. 

    Success Criteria:

    1) Describe the process of distillation, using equipment names, and referencing processes (eg. evaporation, condensation) 

    2) Identify and reflect on the sources of water contamination (is contamination always due to a company?)

    Activities:

    1) Present information from last week on an article related to water contamination 

    2) Scientific Literacy -- refer to Google Classroom (complete one reading and fill out the Google Form) 

    3) Lab activity -- Distillation set-up and class demonstration 


    FOCUS / ARONGA

    FOCUS / ARONGA learning intentions:

    • We are FOCUSING...on how describing how dissolved oxygen, nitrates and phosphates gets into waterways
    • We are FOCUSING...on interpreting and explaining the impact of high/low concentrations of chemicals in water
    • We are FOCUSING...on choosing separation techniques appropriate to the water samples we collect
