Clean Water/Water Management
Description : AP Chemistry students from Northwest High School and general chemistry students from UNO will test water from various homes around Omaha for lead. They will also test the theory that running water for a certain amount of seconds (5,10,15,30) decreases the lead contents to a safe level. They will learn how to use water testing instrumentation and about reporting results for the general public. They are working with Omaha Healthy Kids Alliance to raise awareness of water quality in Omaha as well as providing geographic information about lead content in different areas of the city. The NW High School students will visit UNO to get a tour, gather the water samples from the community, test them at UNO (with UNO students), and then debrief with OHKA and UNO students about the results and what they can do with those results.
