Salila’s mother is an environmental engineer, so she helps Salila learn about water pollution, microbes, and the different ways that water can be purified. With this information, Salila designs a water filter to purify river water, so she can make a pollution-free habitat for her turtle.In the second lesson of the unit, students investigate what environmental engineers doby using a map/mural to investigate possible sources of pollution a small Americancommunity.
