THE EFFECTS OF SEDIMENT ON WATER - VIDEO. ESR scientist Dr Chris Nokes discusses the effect sediment can have on microorganisms in the water. It is possible that microorganisms survive longer in sediment than they do in water, and when it rains, this sediment is stirred up and the water becomes difficult to treat.

Eliciting prior knowledge — STUDENT ACTIVITY In this activity, students are given an opportunity to share what they know about the whio. Two methods of eliciting prior knowledge are modelled, whio bingo and an ideas wall. Although whio/blue duck is the focus in this example, these methods can be easily adapted to any context. The second part of the activity moves from eliciting prior knowledge to formulating questions that may become the basis of a student inquiry into whio.

STUDENT ACTIVITY - Nutrient pollution - These two practical activities help students to understand how nutrients are washed off the land and into water systems. They also investigate the effects of nutrients in aquatic ecosystems. Science Week, Science Resources, Science Teacher, Science Education, Science Activities, Teacher Resources, Science Party

HUMAN IMPACT ON RIVERS - Pollution is difficult to control because it is often the result of human infrastructure around a river. Pollution enters the river, sometimes in small amounts, at many different locations along the length of the river. Common sources of pollution come from rural and urban areas.

The Fairfield project in Hamilton is both a restoration and education programme based in Kukutāruhe gully. The land being restored was sold to iwi and the community which have been restoring the gully as well as using it as an educational base. Jesse speaks to Kukutāruhe Education Trust chair Vic Arcus.

STUDENT ACTIVITY- Water pollutants on trial. In this activity, students research the effect of common pollutants on our waterways and hold a mock trial to determine the worst pollutant in the country. This is a good activity to run with your local council’s storm water drain education kit. Science Room, Water Resources, Natural Resources, Clean Water, Storm Water Drain, Student Teaching

WaiNZ is a national grassroots organisation that aims to reduce freshwater pollution by using technology to empower the public to be kaitiaki (the guardians) of our waterways. We are tackling freshwater issues by giving the public the power to record and report on pollution or enhancement of freshwater from anywhere in the country. In collaboration with Victoria University we continue to research and develop cutting edge technology for the monitoring of freshwater resources. The Guardians, Cutting Edge, Conservation, Vimeo Logo
