Title
Group 2: Second-Year Fellows Seminar Class Plan Template
Content
Group Members:  Diana Samaroo, Ralph Alcendor, Urmi Ghosh-Dastidar, Muhammad Ali Ummy Title of Activity:  Chemical and Biological Analysis of Water Quality Location/outside partner: Beach-front at Brooklyn Bridge Timeline for the session: 9:30 am - 2:00 pm Agenda: 9:30 - 10:30:  Living lab fellows (including Robin Michals, Karen Goodlad, Crystal and Dimitri) will meet at the "Beach front" at Brooklyn Bridge (click here for map/directions) to collect several water samples (stagnant and flowing). 10:30 - 12:00:  Living lab fellows and participants will return to NYCCT, Pearl 304 laboratory to perform several water analysis tests (working in groups of three to four) Experimental samples:  stagnant and flowing water collected at Beach-front Control samples:  CityTech fountain water and/or Distilled water Using test strips from kits, a series of qualitative and quantitative measurements will be conducted on ALL water samples.  The test strips will assay the following:  pH, iron (chemical symbol Fe) level, hardness of water, nitrite and nitrate levels. In addition to these chemical analysis, fellows and participants will determine the microbial activity/growth in ALL water samples.  (NOTE:  Since microbial activity requires a few days to assay, this section of the experiment will be done ahead of time).  Hence, the number of microbial colonies will be determined and counted using a microscope. 12:00 - 1:00 pm Working Lunch Fellows will work on gathering of data and results to report to entire seminar group.  This will include the mean (average) of all pH , hardness, iron, nitrate and nitrite levels of the various water samples (total of four samples)
Preparation Activity Steps Learning Objectives Learning Outcomes Assessment
Understand the advantages and disadvantages of testing in scientific principles in the real world.Examine and make connections between theory and real world applications.Explore various scientific tools and strategies to create a scientific learning environment Make observations, understand the fundamental elements of experiment design, generate and analyze data using appropriate quantitative tools, use abstract reasoning to interpret the data and formulae, and test hypotheses with scientific rigor PowerPoint presentationUse of surveys or questionnaires    
Use the arts, sciences and humanities as a forum for the study of values, ethical principles, and the physical world
Work with teams, including those of diverse composition. Build consensus.
Show ability to contribute actively by applying knowledge to the identification and analysis of societal and professional problems to enact solutions.
