Quality and Contamination Experiment 1 Drinking
Water Quality Bottled water is a billion dollar
industry in the United States. Still, few people
know the health benefits, if any, that come from
drinking bottled water as opposed to tap water.
This experiment will look at the levels of a
variety of different chemical compounds in both
tap and bottled water to determine if there are
health benefits in drinking bottled water.

Pollution on Plant Diversity Water pollution can
have severely negative effects on biodiversity
and ecosystems, particularly on plant
populations. In many cases, these pollutants are
introduced to the environment through everyday
human activity. In this experiment, you will
contaminate several water samples, as well as
purify a water sample. You will then evaluate the
effects of water pollution and purification on
the biodiversity of wildflowers. POST-LAB

  Climate and Air Pollution As increases in human
population lead to expansive industrialization
and cultivation, increased carbon emissions are
resulting in global climate change. This
atmospheric alteration may result in a number of
detrimental environmental impacts including food
insecurity, increased spread of disease, more
intense storms, and sea level rise.
