Abstract
This course carries F7 and F11 credit and as such will contain both a laboratory component to explore scientific concepts and a service-learning component to allow you to broaden connections between the classroom and the world by connecting with the local Memphis community. We will cover the science of hydrogeology, including atmosphere-surface interactions in the water cycle, surface water quality, and groundwater. We will also explore the role that human-produced chemicals (particularly chlorinated pesticides) continue to play in the watersheds in Memphis and the role that education can play in affected neighborhoods. Over the course of the semester we will make our own analytical measurements both in the lab and in the field, analyze our datasets in relation to the demographics of the City using GIS, and work closely with a class at Douglass High School on joint projects over the course of the semester.
