Ocean Water Desalination Lesson

Students learn about the techniques engineers have developed for changing ocean water into drinking water, including thermal and membrane desalination. LINKS Ocean Water Desalination Lesson

Pump It! Water Engineering Design Activity

In this hands-on activity, student groups design, build, test and improve devices to pump water as if they were engineers helping a rural village meet their drinking water supply. Students keep track of their materials costs, and calculate power and cost efficiencies...

Save a life, Clean some water activity

Student teams practice water quality analysis through turbidity measurement and coliform bacteria counts. They use information about water treatment processes to design prototype small-scale water treatment systems and test the influent (incoming) and effluent...
