LESSON 5: WHITE LAKE THE BEAUTIFUL: AN AREA OF CONCERN CASE STUDY In this lesson, a classroom sediment and groundwater pollution demonstration engages students and introduces the now delisted AOC, White Lake. This demonstration is followed by a map and data interpretation activity from an initial sediment study of White Lake. Students then view the short documentary, Bringing Back White Lake the Beautiful. After the video, students take on the role of a member of the community or restoration projects to participate in a community conversation, discussing and evaluating the solutions to delisting White Lake as an AOC. Finally, students turn to their own community, and plan an action item for reducing the impact of human activities on the environment in their community.
