Bioassay Curricula
A bioassay is an experiment that uses living things to test the toxicity of chemicals.
Scientist Partners in the SEPA project have provided resources for bioassays. They have been organized into curriculum templates for easy implementation.
Intergenerational Activities
Explore activities to provide ideas for intergenerational learning and to supplement your classroom projects.
An excellent way for parents and children to engage in the SEPA project is to have them test the water at the tap together. Try this or other suggested activities.
Water Quality Field Monitoring Lab
Discover hands-on techniques for collecting, measuring, and interpreting accessible water quality parameters so that you can conduct a water quality field monitoring lab.
Element Focus: Arsenic, Lead, Manganese, Uranium
Dive more deeply with your students into 4 of the most common contaminants in drinking water: arsenic, lead, manganese, and uranium.
Digital Interactive Notebooks
Digital Interactive Notebooks (DIN) are resources for students to explore content while answering questions and engaging in activities that help teachers understand the extent of student learning.
Zebrafish Toxicology Dataset
Developed by Remy Babich based on her published graduate work, this SEPA-Zebrafish toxicology experiment dataset was turned into a student-friendly version with a supplemental curriculum.
PFAS Curricula
Check out an adsorption lesson for your students, a biochar filtration lab, and molecule/PFAS building with LEGOS.
Other Curriculum Resources
Teachers and scientist partners may find these other resources helpful in the classroom.
