Grade 10 Reading passage
A grade 10 science passage on how invasive quagga mussels colonize a lake intake, what they do to the food web, and how a utility weighs treatment against prevention.
Grade 10 Lesson plan
A 50-minute grade 10 chemistry lesson where students read a breakpoint chlorination curve, calculate chlorine demand, and find the dose for a target residual.
Grade 10 Quiz & test questions
A 50-point grade 10 quiz on waterborne pathogens, treatment barriers, contact time, log removal, and the criteria a plant must meet before declaring water safe.
Grade 10 Lab / experiment
A grade 10 lab where students add different alum doses to muddy water, run a jar test, and rate how coagulation and settling change water clarity.
