Pond Water MICROORGANISMS BIOINDICATORS of Water Pollution 46 Reference
Students observe and identify pond water microorganisms with microscopes to determine if it is polluted or not. Here are 46 reference cards of protists and invertebrates with pollutant tolerance levels indicated. Some common protists and pond organisms can be used as bioindicators. Are you studying MS-ESS3-3 or HS-ESS3-4 and discussing the impact that humans have on our waterways? For years I have taken my middle school classes to a nearby pond to collect organisms to look at under the microsc

Tragedy of the Commons Lab - Human Impact on the Environment
In 1968 the Tragedy of the Commons was published. A major principle of the article is the notion that any resource that is open to everyone – such as the air or parts of the ocean – will eventually be destroyed because everyone can use the resource but no one is responsible for preserving it. When people are not compelled to preserve resources for the welfare for future generations, the Tragedy of the Commons occurs. Objective: The purpose of this simulation is to demonstrate how individuals co

Food Web: Weaving a Web
Students become a part of a FOOD WEB in this simulation using a series of FOOD CHAINS. Students work together as a whole class and build a FOOD WEB using rope/string. Once the web is built, students can easily see the interconnected nature of life. Teacher prompts to kill off certain organisms, having students drop their string and all attachments lead to deeper understanding of environmental impacts. Students then take that knowledge and draw the FOOD WEB on their worksheets using the FOOD CHAI
