About This Lesson

In this unit, students will learn basic criteria used to investigate invertebrates in coastal streams. Students will discuss water quality and how invertebrates are key indicators of water quality. Students will while also, measure temperature, turbidity, and ph using scientific equipment (Lab Quest probes). Students will work in small groups to collect data and will record their information on a class data sheet. This is a small unit to be carried out over the course of the year (fall, winter, spring, and summer). The overall goal of this unit is to compare data collected from the four different seasons, interpret data and make observations based on their findings.

Standards

SA1.1

asking questions, predicting, observing, describing, measuring, classifying, making generalizations, inferring and communicating.

SA1.2

observing, measuring and collecting data from explorations and using this information to classify, predict, and communicate.

SA2.1

supporting their ideas with observations and peer review.

A.1

develop an understanding of the processes of science used to investigate problems, design and conduct repeatable scientific investigations, and defend scientific arguments;

E.1

develop an understanding of how scientific knowledge and technology are used in making decisions about issues, innovations, and responses to problems and everyday events;

4.MD.1

Know relative sizes of measurement units within one system of units including km, m, cm; kg, g; lb, oz.; l, ml; hr, min, sec. Within a single system of measurement, express measurements in a larger unit in terms of a smaller unit. Record measurement equivalents in a two-column table.

G.2

develop an understanding that the advancement of scientific knowledge embraces innovation and requires empirical evidence, repeatable investigations, logical arguments, and critical review in striving for the best possible explanations of the natural world;

4.MD.2

Use the four operations to solve word problems involving distances, intervals of time, liquid volumes, masses of objects, and money, including problems involving simple fractions or decimals, and problems that require expressing measurements given in a larger unit in terms of a smaller unit. Represent measurement quantities using diagrams such as number line diagrams that feature a measurement scale.
