Water Quality Monitoring Project: Engaging Grade 7 Learners in Bio Monitoring Education

The Hibernia Primary Water Quality Monitoring Project enables Grade 7 learners to engage in hands-on bio monitoring practices. Through researching and documenting local river ecosystems, students enhance their environmental awareness while developing key skills in technology and communication. They explore water quality indicators, analyze invertebrate sensitivity using SASS 5, and create a documentary video showcasing their findings. This project aims to promote bio monitoring as an extracurricular activity, helping students excel academically and fostering a passion for science and environmental stewardship.

  4. Hibernia Primary & Real World Education A Bio monitoring Project by grade 7 Learners Teaching Resources Scientific resources, audio visual resources, SASS 5 scoring sheets, field guides, internet. Student Project Overview:Learners determine the quality of water in rivers while the filming team document the steps being taken over a period of 7 months. Aim is to promote bio monitoring as an extra mural activity in schools.

  5. Hibernia Primary & Real World Education A Bio monitoring Project by grade 7 Learners • Assessment and Standards • Learners are able to identify different targeted sites on the river • Learners are able to identify different invertebrates in the water • Learners compare sensitivity of invertebrates with SASS 5 scoring sheet • Learners are able to analyze data • Mapping the Standards: • Learners must be able to: • write a script (writing skills) • create a shot list (visual art) • use a video camera in a creative way (technology) • add narration to the production (communication skills) • do interviews with different role players eg The Mayor, school principal, Environmental Health Practitioner etc. (communication skills, Languages) • Assessment Rubrics:
