ability to read
scientific text
effectively in
order to
understand the
most relevant
information
 to understand and use
scientific language
relevant to to the unit in
written lab reports and
water treatment
presentations
 to formulate a simple
hypothesis and explain
it

handouts about
different separation
methods in order to
pick up the most
