Students learned about the importance of water quality and how it impacts our environment. They collected water samples from home prior to her visit. During the project, they learned about nitrogen and phosphate. The third graders discovered why nitrogen and phosphate are important to farmers and also how too much can be a problem. They were able to test their own water samples with testing strips for nitrate, nitrite, and phosphate. It was a great learning experience that inspired the class to help take care of our environment!
