Water Testing Connection

My groups project is on water pollution.

Our action project is an attempt to get pollutant levels down in our rivers and lakes. Lots of chemicals seep into our water from trash we throw on the ground or from run off. in this project we would attempt to raise awareness through educational campaigns about how the chemicals we release into the environment have effects on the ecosystem and id ways to reduce these levels.

In our bio bottle we are studying the effects of fertilizer and bug spray on the organisms in the bottle. we are going to measure the levels of phosphate, ph, and  temperature while also observing the growth and health of the organisms in contact with the chemicals.


The results from our water testing will help us to see which chemicals are the most impactful on the environment and allow us to see what the problem areas for our home town are. This will make our Action project more successful and targeted at our specific ecosystem
