Chattahoochee's Cold Water Fisheries
- Type: Lesson Plan
- Grade Levels: Middle School: Sixth Grade through Eighth Grade
Trout streams are particularly susceptible to thermal pollution, because they need to maintain cold temperatures year round. Trout streams are either well shaded or receive cold groundwater inputs. Artificial tailwater fisheries may be created at the outflow from large dams, where the size of the reservoir creates a steep temperature difference, with colder water stored at the bottom of the reservoir near the outlet. The Chattahoochee River below Buford Dam is an example of a tailwater fishery.

Scrubbing Your Water Clean!
What Happens to the Water When We Brush and Flush?
- Type: Lesson Plan
- Grade Levels: Middle School: Sixth Grade through Eighth Grade
Water from homes and businesses enters sewers or septic tanks through pipes. This wastewater is kept with other dirty water because it is unhealthy and must be kept away from our drinking water. This sewer water is sent to a water treatment plant where the unhealthy parts are removed. The water is then returned to the river sometimes cleaner than it was originally. This lesson raises real world concerns, guiding students to become better stewards of our environment.
