Laboratory exercises related to methods in environmental research.
The laboratory for environmental science II provides instruction related to, and supporting soil contamination studies and the study of water and water pollution. From rocks and minerals, we continue to soils, soil formation and classification, and sampling for soil contamination studies. The students complete a textural study of several soil samples and pH testing of soil samples. The midterm examination includes a test over the textural information, and the completion of a texture and pH examination of a soil sample provided. The students turn in their notebooks for grading at this time.
