Lake Studies in Environmental Biology Course for Community College Students

这所社区大学正在购买设备进行研究 以当地湖泊的水质为重点， 环境生物学课程，并作为一个组成部分， 其他生物和化学课程的课程， 机构。 该项目的目标是激发人们对 在教授基本科学知识和研究的同时， skills. 该湖被选为研究重点，因为它 下降的条件，这是一个关注的学生和 整个社区。 学生们正在开发项目， 使用以下设备进行：1.水质 研究，2.藻类研究，3.细菌研究，4.环境 成长研究。 该设备包括水测试套件， 取样设备，分光光度计，视频显微镜系统， 培养设备和具有接口的计算设备， 传感器. 学院将提供与奖金相等的金额。

This community college is purchasing equipment to conduct studies on water quality of a local lake as the major focus of an Environmental Biology course and as an integral part of the curriculum in other biology and chemistry courses at the institution. The goal of the project is to spark interest in science while teaching basic scientific knowledge and research skills. The lake was chosen as a research focus because of its declining condition, which is a concern for students and the community as a whole. Students are developing projects to be carried out with the requested equipment in: 1. water quality studies, 2. algae studies, 3. bacterial studies, 4. environmental growth studies. The equipment includes water testing kits and sampling equipment, a spectrophotometer, video microscope system, culturing equipment, and computing equipment with interface and sensors. The college will contribute an amount equal to the award.
