Summary
Water pollution affects plant diversity. Students learn how to test the effects of water pollution on plant biodiversity in a lab experiment.
Observing Water Contamination
Students note the smell and colour of water samples after adding different contaminants. They then compare these with purified water.
Human Activities and Pollution
Students consider how everyday human activities can pollute water. They then discuss how these pollutants affect plant biodiversity.
Water Treatment Processes
Students identify and perform some of the steps in water treatment. They then evaluate how these steps affect water quality and plant biodiversity.
Hypotheses and Results
Students form a hypothesis about how water quality affects plant biodiversity. They then compare their hypothesis with the results of their experiment.
