Grade 11 Lab / experiment
A grade 11 lab where students track osmosis into dialysis tubing holding 20% and 40% sucrose, estimate osmotic pressure, and weigh reverse-osmosis trade-offs.
Grade 11 Classroom activity
A grade 11 role-play in which shift teams triage eight simultaneous plant and distribution alarms, rank them by consequence, and state the first operator action.
Grade 11 Graphic organizer
A grade 11 three-column organizer comparing a river, a reservoir, and a sandstone aquifer across nine design criteria, with a completed exemplar for teachers.
Grade 11 Project
A six-session grade 11 project: teams design a gravity-driven treatment train for an abandoned mine discharge, sized by iron loading and limited by land and budget.
Grade 11 Classroom activity
A grade 11 station rotation where student inspectors survey six campus cross connections and select the minimum adequate backflow prevention assembly for each one.
Grade 11 Graphic organizer
A grade 11 tier organizer matching five reclaimed water end uses to the treatment barriers, quality targets, and monitoring each one demands, with a completed exemplar.
Grade 11 Worksheet
A grade 11 worksheet on disinfection contact time: students size a clearwell, apply a baffling factor, compute CT achieved, and solve for a passing residual.
Grade 11 Graphic organizer
A grade 11 phase-by-role organizer mapping who leads each stage of a water plant upgrade, what preparation each role takes, and which decisions are costly to reverse.
Grade 11 Project
A six-session grade 11 project in which teams size a stream crossing that passes the design storm, restores trout passage, and fits a fixed budget and closure window.
Grade 11 Classroom activity
A grade 11 estimating workshop in which teams build a unit-price bid for a water main replacement, then reprice it when field crews hit unexpected rock.
Grade 11 Lesson plan
A grade 11 engineering lesson where students weigh corrosion-control options for a lead exceedance and compute an orthophosphate feed rate with the pounds formula.
Grade 11 Lab / experiment
A grade 11 lab where students run a five-jar coagulation test on cloudy water, plot clarity against alum dose, and scale the best dose to a plant feed rate.
Grade 11 Math problem set
A grade 11 engineering problem set on a utility's two-part water rate: writing bill equations, comparing a rate increase, and testing an affordability threshold.
Grade 11 Quiz & test questions
A grade 11 engineering assessment on a campus stormwater retrofit, covering impervious area, runoff volume, bioretention storage, drawdown time, and cost per gallon.
Grade 11 Project
A grade 11 engineering project where teams design a phosphorus removal upgrade for a fictional wastewater plant, sizing a chemical feed system within a budget.
Grade 11 Worksheet
A grade 11 worksheet where students compute the mean, median, and range of a week of turbidity and chlorine readings and compare them to treatment standards.
Grade 11 Lesson plan
A grade 11 engineering lesson where students compare sprinkler and drip irrigation efficiency for a drought-hit farm and compute the pumped flow each system needs.
Grade 11 Worksheet
A grade 11 worksheet using the rational method to compare peak runoff before and after developing the fictional Aldous Commons site, then size a detention volume.
Grade 11 Worksheet
A grade 11 worksheet where students compute BOD and TSS removal efficiency and loading for the fictional Bristow plant and check it against the secondary standard.
Grade 11 Lesson plan
A grade 11 engineering lesson where students use a weighted decision matrix to rank which aging water mains the fictional city of Dunmore should replace first.
Grade 11 Math problem set
A grade 11 engineering set on the fictional Halden Ridge booster station, where students find total dynamic head, read a pump curve, and check delivered pressure.
Grade 11 Lesson plan
A grade 11 engineering lesson where students break the problem of treating fictional Merrow River water into stages and size each stage against its own goal.
Grade 11 Lab / experiment
A grade 11 lab where students measure how outflow from a tank changes with water height, then fit the head-versus-flow pattern and link it to distribution pressure.
Grade 11 Project
A grade 11 engineering build project where teams design, construct, and iteratively test a slow sand biofilter for the fictional Quillhaven field station within a budget.
