Description

The purpose of this project was to develop resources to transfer information about the relationship between phosphorus and water clarity, to elementary grades 2-5 students.

Abstract

This project investigated different ways to explain complex concepts of lake chemistry and biology to elementary school groups at water festivals in order to foster stewardship and kindle awareness with respect to environmental processes in Ontario lakes.

This report contains an annotated bibliography, summarizing sources used during the research for the children’s resource. In addition, an electronic copy of the product has been included. This graphic has the potential to be used at Water Festivals across the province.
