Dublin San Ramon Services District and the City of Livermore
Water Resources Division present Sewer Science Laboratory
Let us help you meet high school science curriculum requirements in the areas of:
 Environmental science
Scientific inquiry
Relationship between life science and the environment
Introduce your students to the hands-on Sewer Science Laboratory that integrates chemistry, physics and microbiology, and promotes math and graphing skills. Your students will also explore questions regarding personal responsibility, technology, and societal issues. Challenging, educational and fun, students see science in action!
Developed by high school teachers and wastewater professionals, this five-day wastewater treatment lab simulates the treatment of wastewater using physical, biological and chemical steps to clean the water. Each step is directly modeled after real wastewater treatment operations and students test the water between each phase of treatment.
We provide the lab equipment and supplies, student workbooks, teacher guidebook, and staff to facilitate the program. The teacher guidebook and 40-page student workbook explain the science of wastewater treatment – sedimentation, biological treatment, filtration, and disinfection. Students view microorganisms under microscopes, measure pH, turbidity, ammonia, and chemical oxygen demand, plot their data, and compare their results to U.S. Environmental Protection Agency effluent standards.
Tried-and-True
Although new to the Valley, the Sewer Science Laboratory began in 1997. More than a dozen Bay Area high schools already participate: Menlo-Atherton, Gunn, Palo Alto, Los Altos, Las Lomas, Concord, Berean Christian, Contra Costa Christian, Northgate, Alhambra, Ygnacio Valley, Woodside, and Carlmont.
