measure, record, and analyze a variety of water quality indicators and describe what these mean to the health of an ecosystem (6.8 d)
Human actions and geologic processes affect the availability of freshwater resources.

This lesson focuses on the importance of protecting freshwater ecosystems by measuring and analyzing water quality indicators such as pH, dissolved oxygen, temperature, and turbidity. It explores the impacts of human activities like point and non-point source pollution, which can disrupt the balance of these indicators, leading to detrimental effects on aquatic life. The lesson also examines geologic processes (like erosion) that affect water quality through sedimentation, ultimately impacting ecosystem health. Students will engage in activities to analyze specific case studies, using a scientific argument framework to assess the health of various aquatic environments and the effectiveness of human management practices.
