Cape Hatteras Secondary School celebrates World Water Day for the week of March 22-26 Students at CHSSCS celebrated world water day with several activities that spanned from the middle school to the high school. Each grade level students were responsible for finding one fact about water and post their fact around school. Just in time for WWD the walls in the schools foyer were covered with facts about the importance of water. Many students were shocked to learn the importance of this resource, as well as, to learn that not everyone in the world had the same access to water as they do. Each day for week students also collected water quality samples in the sound behind the school, as well as, a creek behind school that is impacted by run-off. During lunch the high school students set-up a booth to teach students how to collect water quality data and taught students why it is important to measure pH, water temperature, salinity, conductivity, turbidity, and dissolved oxygen.
The slide show below are activities the middle school students participated in during World Water Week.
