Outdoor Water Lab!

The  TVA Science Kids—World Water Monitoring Program is a free hands-on  water quality monitoring lab that TVA brings to select schools, groups,  and clubs across our service area and Tennessee River watershed. The  program is geared towards 4th-6th grade standards for science. Students  take on the role of scientists – testing conditions of a local source of  water, including pH, dissolved oxygen, water temperature, and  turbidity. Experiments will be conducted with beakers, test tubes,  vials, and students will observe chemical reactions, use science and  engineering practices to analyze and interpret data, construct  explanations about whether their water source can support aquatic life,  and discuss core ideas such as ecosystems, human impact on Earth’s  systems, and natural resources.
