Preparation for Group Activity 2 (Friday
2-10-06)
Make sure I have the names of your alternate
(back-up) group leaders before you leave the class on Friday!!!!!!!!!!
On Wednesday, we
will break out briefly into groups to arrange collection of 2 water samples
(probably be helpful to collect a 3rd water sample as well) to
different group members (they can collect water in any clean container such as
a water bottle, or use the film canisters we provided if they are rinsed once
or twice with the water being collected). Those people should collect the water
sample and bring them to class on Friday. Group leaders should let me know if
there is a problem with this.
For the Group Activity #2 preparation homework, each person should bring in 2-3
pages of material (printed from web or photocopied from library). The following
scheme might better help insure all the topics have been researched:
The first 2-3 people in the group should focus their search on the
country’s water resources, the second 2-3 people should focus on water
pollution, and the last 2-3 people should focus on water health issues
of your group's country, although everyone is likely to find information about
all of these water issues (and others). Mark
(underline or highlight) relevant text in your homework before you come to class.
You will turn
these in Friday along with the completed GA#2 handout at the end of the hour to
verify that in fact you did your homework preparation for this activity. The
groups are as follows:
Group 1 Cobalt
Group 2 Nickel
Haiti
Group 3 Beryllium
Group 4 Gold
Group 5 Silver
Group 6 Chromium
Group 7 Copper
