Student Water Quality Testing Engages Students in all Levels of Bloom?s Taxonomy Author(s): BOGUE M., MILEYEVA-BIEBESHEIMER O. J. Ponte - Nov 2015 - Volume 71 - Issue 11 Abstract: Using the framework of Toledo Metropolitan Area Council of Governments (TMACOG) Student Watershed Watch (SWW), supported by the University of Toledos National Science Foundation GK-12 program, Northview High School Environmental Science students work through all levels of Blooms Taxonomy (knowledge, comprehension, application, analysis, synthesis, and evaluation). Students test the water quality of Ten-mile Creek, a small tributary that feeds into Lake Erie. Each student is given the opportunity to touch on all levels of Blooms Taxonomy in the concepts and testing procedures of water quality. In-depth participation in the final two levels of Blooms, synthesis and evaluation, is offered to all students involved -- a small percent of motivated students take on the challenge of evaluation by combining all the data, culminating in a presentation for TMACOGs SWW Summit. The students then proceed by designing a presentation that explains and analyzes the data, while incorporating the use of technology. As an added goal, the Northview students are directed to make the presentation entertaining as well as informative. Included information will consist of total number of participants, as well as presentation formats. Project details will be outlined to demonstrate the project goals and how they are achieved.
