Project title:

The effects of water temperature on a freshwater pond

Research question

How does water temperature affect water quality in the pond at our school?

Identify the local environmental/climate problem you want to investigate

As temperatures rise, our world also changes, including plant growth, extreme weather conditions and more. We aim at clarifying the impact on ponds and other freshwater bodies of water caused by these temperature changes. Good water quality is essential for the health of nature, and by extension, mankind. This is a project we chose because we have a pond at school, and we wanted to know if climate change would have an effect on the wildlife in the pond.

Project topic

Climate change
