- May I suggest that you contact the European schools participating
- in a project called "aquadata". Its objective is to let students
- measure water pollution in a neighboring river and collect the date
- in a central database. In Germany about 100 schools are helping to
- collect data.
- The learning content is, how to handle the chemical measurment
- equipment, how to measure, how to format and transfer data into
- the database, how to retrieve specific data, how to do statstical
- calculations with selected data, how to interpret the calculations,
- how to draw conclusions and general judgements from the calculations.
-
- A side effect will be, that a river pollution map for Germany will
- come out at the end.
-
- In the other countries in Europe the participation is not quite as
- strong, since only in Germany a scientific association (Verband
- deutsher biologen) is supporting the project financially.
-
- Contact: Karl Sarnow at Gymnasium Grossburgwedel (Germany) - he is
- the German contact person for the project and pushing it at his
- high school.
