LESSON: Molecular Structure of Water.

Part of a series of lessons in a unit called Wastewater Context for Matter and its interactions. Designed for middle school physical science, students will come to understand the uniqueness of water through the properties that emerge from its polarity.

LESSON: Call to Action - Wastewater Pledge

Part of a series of lessons in a unit called Wastewater Context for Matter and its interactions. Designed for middle school physical science, this final lesson in the series has students take a pledge to change their behaviors in regards to wastewater, as well as teach others what they have learned and have other pledge as well.

LESSON: What are the Patterns of Electricity Use?

Part of the lesson series “Green Building Context for Electric/Magnetic forces, Energy, Waves and Signals”. Designed for middle school physical science, students read an article about peak and base load and find out the importance of when energy is used.

LESSON: Cleaning Products and Wastewater

Part of a series of lessons in a unit called Wastewater Context for Matter and its interactions. Designed for middle school physical science, students will learn about common harmful cleaning supplies and natural alternatives

LESSON: Density and Primary Treatment

Part of a series of lessons in a unit called Wastewater Context for Matter and its interactions. Designed for middle school physical science, students discover how density plays a major role in the treatment of wastewater.

LESSON: Sewer sludge, Reactions and Fertilizer.

Part of a series of lessons in a unit called Wastewater Context for Matter and its interactions. Designed for middle school physical science, students will learn the role chemical reaction play in transforming sewer sludge into bio-solids used for fertilizer

LESSON: Light Bulb Efficiency

Part of the lesson series “Green Building Context for Electric/Magnetic forces, Energy, Waves and Signals”. Designed for middle school physical science, students conduct an experiment to determine the most efficient lightbulb by measuring thermal energy output. Then, generalize the findings to the efficiency of all electronic devices.

LESSON: What Are the Features of an Energy Efficient Home?

Part of the lesson series “Green Building Context for Electric/Magnetic forces, Energy, Waves and Signals”. Designed for middle school physical science, students draw a model of a home with as many energy efficient features as they know.

LESSON: Reclaimed water

Part of a series of lessons in a unit called Wastewater Context for Matter and its interactions. Designed for middle school physical science, students will learn about reclaimed water and how it prevents the wastewater from ever entering the sound.

LESSON: Properties and the Problem with "Flushable wipes"

Part of a series of lessons in a unit called Wastewater Context for Matter and its interactions. Designed for middle school physical science, students will understand the problem the properties of "flushable wipes" cause to the water treatment systems.

LESSON: Poop to Power

Part of a series of lessons in a unit called Wastewater Context for Matter and its interactions. Designed for middle school physical science, students are shown how the methane gas released in the digestion of sludge can be used as a fuel to power the treatment facility itself.

LESSON: How Electricity is Used and Regulated at Home

Part of the lesson series “Green Building Context for Electric/Magnetic forces, Energy, Waves and Signals”. Designed for middle school physical science, students check volts and amps of devices they use at home.

LESSON: Separating Mixtures - Engineering a Wastewater Cleaning System

Part of a series of lessons in a unit called Wastewater Context for Matter and its interactions. Designed for middle school physical science, student will design a process to clean simulated wastewater

LESSON: Solubility and the problem with F.O.G

Part of a series of lessons in a unit called Wastewater Context for Matter and its interactions. Designed for middle school physical science, students will understand the how solubility plays a role in the problems F.O.G. (Fats, Oils and Grease) causes in the wastewater system and what to do about it

LESSON: Change of State and Wastewater Treatment

Part of a series of lessons in a unit called Wastewater Context for Matter and its interactions. Designed for middle school physical science, students will overcome the misconception that boiling is part of the wastewater treatment process.
