Sessoms, James D.
This activity guide, developed to provide hands-on environmental education activities geared to Singletary Lake State Park in North Carolina, is targeted for grades 6, 7, and 8 and meets curriculum objectives of the standard course of study established by the North Carolina Department of Public Instruction. Three types of activities are included: pre-visit, on-site, and post-visit. The on-site activity is conducted at the park, while pre- and post-visit activities are designed for the classroom. In these activities students will have the opportunity to learn water quality testing methods, visit a bay lake and perform actual tests, and discover and test water sources at school. Major concepts included are: water quality, data collection, pH, water testing, animal adaptations, and geomorphology of a Carolina bay lake. Includes a vocabulary list, scheduling worksheet, parental permission form, North Carolina Parks and Recreation program evaluation, and information about Singletary Lake State Park. (MKR)
