I assume that you take students on a tour of the treatment plant?

Sounds like a good project. Do you askt he studnets to evaluate their own water use as a preliminary exercise? The American Chemical Society HS textbook Chemistry in the Community has one template that students could use to do that.]]> Lois Ongley 1265742780 http://serc.carleton.edu/NAGTWorkshops/servicelearning/activities/39020.html#post5347 http://serc.carleton.edu/NAGTWorkshops/servicelearning/activities/39020.html#post5351
I really like the formal contract within the student group as a way to promote participation by all in the group - I think I will try something like this in the future.

Are they given practice for how to motivate large groups?
In the rubric there is mention of research - what is the expectation here? It seems like they could base their strategy on common sense, but you might want them to look at previous case studies instead?]]> Jennifer Houghton 1265743320 http://serc.carleton.edu/NAGTWorkshops/servicelearning/activities/39020.html#post5351 http://serc.carleton.edu/NAGTWorkshops/servicelearning/activities/39020.html#post5374 Renee Faatz 1265744400 http://serc.carleton.edu/NAGTWorkshops/servicelearning/activities/39020.html#post5374 http://serc.carleton.edu/NAGTWorkshops/servicelearning/activities/39020.html#post5376 Rhonda Spidell 1265744460 http://serc.carleton.edu/NAGTWorkshops/servicelearning/activities/39020.html#post5376 http://serc.carleton.edu/NAGTWorkshops/servicelearning/activities/39020.html#post5418

Your management of this project is excellent! From the student contracts to the two-levels of presentation, I think you have a great foundation for expanding the PR (outreach) event farther into the community.

Great water conservation project!]]> Linda McCall 1265746680 http://serc.carleton.edu/NAGTWorkshops/servicelearning/activities/39020.html#post5423 http://serc.carleton.edu/NAGTWorkshops/servicelearning/activities/39020.html#post5461
I'm not sure exactly what you cover in the economic section. I hope it includes the cost of running a wastewater treatment plant and the cost of putting is separate storm water runnoff conduits.]]> Suzanne O'Connell 1265748660 http://serc.carleton.edu/NAGTWorkshops/servicelearning/activities/39020.html#post5461 http://serc.carleton.edu/NAGTWorkshops/servicelearning/activities/39020.html#post5472 Pamela Gore 1265749320 http://serc.carleton.edu/NAGTWorkshops/servicelearning/activities/39020.html#post5472 http://serc.carleton.edu/NAGTWorkshops/servicelearning/activities/39020.html#post5483 Stephanie Maes 1265750820 http://serc.carleton.edu/NAGTWorkshops/servicelearning/activities/39020.html#post5483 http://serc.carleton.edu/NAGTWorkshops/servicelearning/activities/39020.html#post5488 William Locke 1265751000 http://serc.carleton.edu/NAGTWorkshops/servicelearning/activities/39020.html#post5488
