Lesson Three: Ammonia and Chloramine

Lesson Three: Ammonia and Chloramine

Students will learn about the sources of ammonia in ground water, the consequences of high ammonia concentrations in water supplies, and the manner in which these problems are usually dealt with. Students will learn about biological filtering as a way to use bacteria to remove ammonia from water. Students will learn about the chemical reaction between chlorine and ammonia which results in the creation of chloramine and will learn about chloramine. Students will be able to demonstrate calculations involving concentrations, volumes and dilution factors.

Lesson Four: Ammonia and Chloramine Experiment

Lesson Four: Ammonia and Chloramine Experiment

Students will learn more about chemical reactions involved in the water treatment process by participating in an experiment examining these reactions. Students will collect and analyze experimental data on chemical reactions. Students will be able to demonstrate calculations involving concentrations, volumes and dilution factors.

Lesson Seven: Research Assignment

Lesson Seven: Research Assignment

Students will practice research skills. Students will gain a more intimate understanding of a topic that interests them. Students will practice presenting information through both written and oral communication.
