The Environmental Chemistry Water Project incorporates
the Maine Learning Results in the Science and Technology
content area generally relating to both the
Communication and Inquiry and Problem Solving content
standards. When the students complete the project they
should be able to:
1. Make accurate observations using
appropriate tools, specifically the spectrophotometer,
and use the appropriate units of measure for each test
for contamination.
2. Verify, evaluate, use the results to
conclude:
a). contaminant
b). the concentration of contaminant
c). the source of pollutant and
d). the action taken to remove pollutant.
3. Demonstrate the ability to use scientific
model and technology with short and long term
investigations and recognize that there is more than
one possible method to solve the problem.
4. Design and construct a solution and make
recommendation for action to be taken to remove
further contamination.
5. Analyze research and/or other literature
to determine possible test to run to determine
possible contaminate at the site under
investigation.
6. Use a journal / notebook for
self-assessment to describe and analyze the project
and reflect on problem solving process.
7. Make and use appropriate symbols ,
pictures, diagrams, scale drawings and models to
represent and simplify real life situations and solve
pollution problem.
8. Use graphs, tables, charts, and maps in
making arguments and drawing conclusions to water
contamination.
9. Use computers to organize data, generate
models, do research, use new media (digital cameras,
etc) to present arguments, and points of view
regarding project goals.

The Environmental Chemistry Water Project incorporates
the Maine Learning Results in the Science and Technology,
as it relates to specific content areas of the
Communication and Inquiry and Problem Solving content
standards. When the students complete the project they
