This work is being carried out by fifth graders School Nº 1345 "Nuestra Señora del Carmen" Pujato. It aims to describe the surrounding area of the canal-ditch located northwest of the town, a place where students often fish and play. Within the environmental characteristics, water quality is being especially studied.
Activities: reading and interpretation of the story "A Waterproof Case"; organisation of a field trip; localization of the place under study; preparation of materials and tools for work; field visits with observations and measurements to describe the ecosystem, wildlife, and state of time. The aquatic environment will be characterized by determining turbidity and water temperature, presence of aquatic plants, fish, insects; sampling of water so as to experiment and determine other properties -pH and DO-; performing bioassay to assess toxicity and finally to determine quality.
As a complement a logo is designed.
