Handout:

Kate Winn & Emily Moore's MLP#1

Grade Level:

12

Subject:

Science

Topic:

Strand F: Population Dynamics
F1:analyse the relationships between population growth, personal consumption, analyse the relationships between population growth, personal consumption, technological development, and our ecological footprint, and assess the effectiveness of some Canadian initiatives intended to assist expanding populations
F1.1:analyse the effects of human population growth, personal consumption, and technological development on our ecological footprint

Objective:

A lab to introduce the topic of population dynamics, the populations effect on environment, specifically water

Other Information:

Every human needs to drink water and as the reading stated many people believe that the bottled water they buy is better for them from the water in their tap at home. This discovery lab will allow students to test their own position on this topic. It also will provide them with an introduction to the effects that populations (their communities) have on water supply.
The reading is integrated into the lesson as this is what the introduction to the lesson will be for the students. It provides background knowledge to the students needed to conduct the lab they will be completing in the class the next day.

Prep:

Three different types of water bottles need to be bought and transferred to clean beakers. A sample of tap water also needs to be put in a clean beaker. The nitrate and pH probes are to be collected and put out for student use. A handout of questions is to be created assuring connection between the activity and the curriculum content that is being introduced through this discovery lab. Photocopies of instructions and hand outs are to be done. Another option is available with your students is to provide an e-copy of instructions and handout. This may be beneficial as this connects to ecological footprint and populations affect on their environment
