Thesis (M.S.)--Michigan State University, 2005.

This unit was taught to an eleventh grade Integrated Science class at Flint Southwestern Academy, in Flint, Michigan. The intent of the unit was to educate the students on the implications of hazardous materials in the environment and the use of plants as an alternative remediation device to clean contaminated sites. Through the utilization of experiments and models that provided hands-on experience and solutions to a real world problem, this goal was successfully met by addressing the requirements of the State Educational Benchmarks regarding environmental issues. Through the execution of a series of habitat models that utilized plants and animals, toxicity was explored using heavy metals as a reference, as well as the pathways that the toxins take in the environment. The analysis of collected data from the models indicated that as concentrations of the contaminant increased, the living organisms began to experience stress, especially if they did not have mechanisms that allowed for survival. In searching for a solution to the issue of toxicity and current practices of remediation, the idea of plant application for removal of metals was investigated. As the class worked with the experimental models, they gained knowledge, as indicated by their post test scores which had a range of 38-54% increase over pre test scores.
