The Water Quality Educator5872
Teach your students and volunteer monitors all about Natural Water Quality Monitoring. Use the CD to plan and implement a special long-term service project, community outreach program, environmental course, and classroom and field trip pre-lab activity to test water quality in rivers, streams, lakes, ponds, estuaries, and other natural bodies of water.

The Water Quality Educator CD along with the Monitor's Handbook (code 5872) provides extensive training for the water scientist focusing on three aspects of water quality monitoring as practiced extensively by schools and communities throughout the world.

Water quality is monitored by testing for a variety of factors in three broad categories:

1. Chemical (Dissolved oxygen, nitrate, pH, phosphate, alkalinity)

2. Biological (Aquatic Macroinvertebrates as living indicators of water quality)

3. Microbiological (E. coli, total coliforms, fecal coliforms, Enterococcus)

This distinctive reference will guide you through the decisions that are made prior to testing to the analysis of the final results. Determine why you want to monitor. Select the site(s). What tests will give you the information you need to fulfill your objectives? During testing, this guide will show how to perform the test. After testing, it will interpret the results.

Let the River Run Silver Again!1599

Sandra W. Burk

Written by an elementary school teacher, this publication reviews one elementary school's efforts to bring back American shad to the Potomac River. With the help of the community and various government agencies, the school was inspired to take on a project that spanned several years of teh students' education and exposed them to the process of community cooperation, scientific procedures, the workings of gevernments, shared success, and considerations inmaking career choices. The text offers suggested steps to planning a successful water, wetland, or watershed project. Selected as 2005 "Conservation Book of the Year" by the Isaac Walton League of America in both youth and adult categories. 40 pages.

Reviewed and approved for inclusion in the NSTA Recommends program. NSTA Recommends received positive comments from a panel of outstanding science educators and recommends this publication as one of the best available supplements for science teaching.
