 6th Graders Finishing Water Quality Our amazing water quality project has come to an end. Students have been busy the last few weeks sharing presentations of their work with each other, writing final conclusion blogs (#comments4kids), and self-assessing their understandings of the Science standards that most closely fit our project. Since we are beginning a completely different unit studying physical science students who are not done with any of the above can access any of it from home to finish. Their goal is to have all this work done by March 28 for student-led conferences! Parents don't forget that you can see what we're doing in Science by visiting my HW/Daily work site.

My 6th graders have enjoyed learning how to be good stewards for their watershed, especially their neighborhood creek. The creek runs through many families' properties so the kids needed to learn how to take care of this precious resource. We want to keep salmon returning to our creek year after year!

Mr. Gi know a lot about water quality and if the water is bad we would have no creeks or rivers and steams.animals would die and soon we would die to.The water is the most important thing we have in our lives. So we should keep it safe by no litter and having oil leak every where.

laurenwHello 6th Grade, Water quality is an issue around the world. With most of the Earth's surface covered in water, this might not appear to be a problem yet the amount of drinkable water is finite. Your studies are a necessary part of water quality management carried out by qualified scientists globally. You can be awakened to the need to manage our creeks and rivers much better. When I was a Boy Scout here in Australia, we thought nothing of drinking from streams and creeks we came across. Now, with increased urbanisation and industry, I can't trust the water from most sources once it has travelled along waterways. Luckily the town's dam is supplied from a water catchment area where access is restricted. Near my house is a creek with its upper reaches still having good quality water after rain but, near me, I know the quality can't be trusted. Run off from roads and properties and even the chance of more toxic chemicals leaching from a rubbush tip's run off when it rains would make the water doubtful. While I taught students your age and younger, my background is in science so I was fascinated by your research. @RossMannell Teacher, NSW, Australia

My Classes & Students About the Blogger I started my teaching career in South Central Los Angeles teaching in modified to full bilingual 4th and 5th grade classes. Then I moved to WA State where I have taught mainly 6th through 8th grade. I have enjoyed the culture clash but notice that kids are the same everywhere :o) My areas of interest are science and technology but I also love studying ancient cultures and learning about different peoples and cultures.
