Can You Catch the Water?

Educational Use
Rating
0.0 stars

Students construct three-dimensional models of water catchment basins using everyday objects to form hills, mountains, valleys and water sources. They experiment to see where rain travels and collects, and survey water pathways to see how they can be altered by natural and human activities. Students discuss how engineers design structures that impact water collection, as well as systems that clean and distribute water.

This resource is a video abstract of a research paper created by Research Square on behalf of its authors. It provides a synopsis that's easy to understand, and can be used to introduce the topics it covers to students, researchers, and the general public. The video's transcript is also provided in full, with a portion provided below for preview:

"Positive organizational change doesn’t just happen It requires powerful strategy that can balance proven methodology with creative application Most enterprises want to sustain growth while also creating value, navigating complexity, and promoting innovation These aspirations have increased the demand for professional management consulting services A new article in Global Business and Organizational Excellence examines how strategic human resource development (HRD) consulting can transform performance metrics -- from productivity and quality to employee engagement and profitability Using a real-world example, the work highlights the concept of energizing, redesigning, and gelling (ERG) -- an alternative way to think about organizational development and change ERG helps leaders strategically align learning and development with other components of organizational design to execute an organization's overall goal Too many organizational change efforts fail....."

The rest of the transcript, along with a link to the research itself, is available on the resource itself.

Students experience the steps of the engineering design process as they design solutions for a real-world problem that could affect their health. After a quick review of the treatment processes that municipal water goes through before it comes from the tap, they learn about the still-present measurable contamination of drinking water due to anthropogenic (human-made) chemicals. Substances such as prescription medication, pesticides and hormones are detected in the drinking water supplies of American and European metropolitan cities. Using chlorine as a proxy for estrogen and other drugs found in water, student groups design and test prototype devices that remove the contamination as efficiently and effectively as possible. They use plastic tubing and assorted materials such as activated carbon, cotton balls, felt and cloth to create filters with the capability to regulate water flow to optimize the cleaning effect. They use water quality test strips to assess their success and redesign for improvement. They conclude by writing comprehensive summary design reports.
