My Water Scrapbook
In this picture we are working with magenetic marbles that is representing the water molecules. What we are doing here is showing how the magnetic marbles only stick to the magnetic board. This lesson here is showing how water can stick to certain things like it won't stick to wax paper but it would stick to a glass plate.
This picture is showing the people who went to the Croton Aqueduct swimming in the Croton Aqueduct. Not everybody got wet but the people who did enjoyed it. The water was one of the cleanest water we played in. the Aqueduct had rocks underneath so were not able to take off our shoes unless we are sitting on a rock and getting our feet wet.
This picture is showing Hannah, a student from banard, helping us collect water from the Hudson River to search for a bacteria called enterococci. This bacteria can be found in wter and can cause diseases. Hannah is a student from Banard college who is studying enterococci.
This picture is showing the girls, in the water course, posing under the sprinklers in the Water Park at Central Park. Every one got wet here(except the teachers) and everyone was happy because it was the dayof the heat wave.
This picture is showing an activity we did when we went aboard a boatcalled The Pioneer. This activity was showing how all the waste and nasty material us humans create gets into the bodies of water surrounding us when there is a storm or when it rains. Some of those nasty material were: dog poop(chocolate sprinkles), oil that leak from cars(soy sauce), and candy wrappers(salt).
This picture is showing another activity we did on the Pioneer. This activity was about us learning about the marine animals that were in the water that we sailed on. We saw a hermit crab, which had a small snail attached to its shell, a blue crab, which we released back into the water, a clam, and a small clam.
This picture is showing us hgetting wet in battery park. There was also a snad slide that was really long. The sprinklers were all different sizes from big to small to medium. It was really fum and really short.
This picture was taken when we were at the construction site. Construction workers were talking to us about the water main pipe that they were going to buil. Also they were talking to us about the different pipes underground and what they had to watch out for.
In this picture we are in Black Rock Forest making puppets for our puppet show. We took newspaper and made it into the structure we wanted it to be. After that we took newspaper and put it into paper mashae and put that over the newspaper structure. Then we took paper bags and put that in paper mashae and put it on the puppet structure. Finally, when the paper mashae dried, we painted our puppets. Everyone's puppet was different. Even Prof. Hill's puppets.
This picture is showing a group preforming their skits about water. These skits were done on the porch at the cabin that we stayed in at Black Rock Forest.The skits had to be related to what we have done in our classes and in our experiments we have done.
This picture is showing some kids splashing in the pond to catch macro-invertebrates.We wanted to know if the water quality was good by seeing how many critters there are in the water.
This picture is sjowing some student taking some invertebrates and putting them in water so we could count them. Our goal was to get at least 100 of them because 100 meant that the water quality was very good and that certain animals could live there.
