Familiarize Students With The Physical, Biological, And Chemical Processes Of A Wastewater Treatment Plant. In This Laboratory Investigation, Students Will Use The Wastewater Apparatus As A Model To Observe Simulations Of Primary, Secondary, And Tertiary Wastewater Treatment Processes. Through This Process, They Will Explore The Efficiency, Effectiveness, And Ecological Impact Of Various Treatment Models, Fostering A Deeper Understanding Of Sustainable Solutions For Managing And Purifying Wastewater. Includes Materials For 1 Group Of Students Or 1 Teacher Demonstration.Unit Connectionthis Laboratory Investigation Correlates To Unit 8: Aquatic And Terrestrial Pollution, Topic 8.11: Sewage Treatment In The Ap Environmental Science Course And Exam Description.Standards Connectionthis Addresses The Following Ap Environmental Science Concepts:Big Idea 4: Sustainability (Stb). Human Survival Depends On Developing Practices That Will Achieve Sustainable Systems. A Suitable Combination Of Conservation And Development Is Required. The Management Of Resources Is Essential. Understanding The Role Of Cultural, Social, And Economic Factors Is Vital To The Development Of Solutions.Stb-3 Human Activities, Including The Use Of Resources, Have Physical, Chemical, And Biological Consequences For Ecosystems.Stb-3.N Describe Best Practices In Sewage Treatment.Stb-3.N.1 Primary Treatment Of Sewage Is The Physical Removal Of Large Objects, Often Through The Use Of Screens And Grates, Followed By The Settling Of Solid Waste In The Bottom Of A Tank.Stb-3.N.2 Secondary Treatment Is A Biological Process In Which Bacteria Break Down Organic Matter Into Carbon Dioxide And Inorganic Sludge, Which Settles In The Bottom Of A Tank. The Tank Is Aerated To Increase The Rate At Which The Bacteria Break Down The Organic Matter.Stb-3.N.3 Tertiary Treatment Is The Use Of Ecological Or Chemical Processes To Remove Any Pollutants Left In The Water After Primary And Secondary Treatment.Stb-3.N.4 Prior To Discharge, The Treated Water Is Exposed To One Or More Disinfectants (Usually Chlorine, Ozone, Or Uv Light) To Kill Bacteria.Time Requirementsteacher Preparation (Before Class):Prelab: 10 Minutesinvestigation: Day 1 (At Least 1 Hour Before The Investigation), 45 Minutes; Day 2, 15 Minutesclass Time:Prelab: 15 Minutesinvestigation: Day 1, 70 Minutes; Day 2, 15 Minutesfree-Response Questions: 45 Minutesthe Times Provided Are Estimates.
