Students observe the variation in solubility of oxygen in water of differing temperature and salinity. They investigate how oxygen is supplied to estuarine waters through abiotic and biotic methods. They analyze existing data and compare their results to their predictions.
Students create a report that analyzes the process used and the data gathered.
They will relate that data to problems that exist in their local watershed. The report will be submitted to the network and their watershed coordinator for review. Students share what they have learned with their community by creating a presentation for a selected audience.
