In this guided review, you will learn about the different water quality parameters, the ways they interact with one another, and the work being done to manage water quality. This review aims to identify instances of impaired water quality and its impact on nearby communities.

Students will investigate the quality of water by collecting data on parameters including temperature, salinity, pH, dissolved oxygen, turbidity, nitrates, and nitrites. They will determine what it means for water to be "safe," and identify what causes can alter water quality.

In this guided review, you will learn about the different types of water pollution, the impacts they have on our waterways, and the work being done to mitigate the damage. This review aims to identify the sources of water pollution and the communities that are most affected by it.

Students will explore water pollution in their own backyard by using a variety of tools. They will investigate the quality of a nearby water source, and they will solve a water-based mystery by tracking pollution to its most likely source.

Students will explore the origins and consequences of our use of microplastics. They will illustrate the journey of a piece of discarded plastic and the events that transform it back into microplastics. They will examine the data that reveals the pervasive impact it is having on water and wildlife throughout the world. They will also propose possible solutions to curb microplastics pollution.

Students explore stakeholder perspectives, the consequences of the loss of wetlands, and possible alternatives to the destruction of these valuable resources

In this guided review, you will learn about the ecosystem services provided by wetlands and uncover the impacts of urbanization. This review seeks to outline the potential ramifications of urbanization on wetland habitats and highlight the possible routes to creating more equitable and sustainable communities through responsible development practices.

Students will explore the origins and consequences of marine debris. They will illustrate the journey of a piece of discarded plastic and the events that occur as it enters a waterway. They will examine the data that reveals the pervasive impact it is having on water and widlife throughout the world. They will also propose possible solutions to curb marine debris.

In this guided review, you will learn about marine debris and its impacts on humans and the environment. This review seeks to outline the origins, pathways, and studies surrounding marine debris. In the following resources you will find information about the consequences of marine debris as well as the strategies being developed to mitigate its impacts.

Students investigate a small urban marsh restoration project and explore the impacts it has on the flora and fauna at the mouth of Bayou Saint John. They identify unexpected side effects of the project and work together to propose their own mini-marsh restoration project.
