Geochemistry studies the flow of elements through nature. This program introduces students to how chemicals help us monitor, clean and prevent water resource contamination. Students will practice laboratory techniques as they perform various tests on known and unknown samples, participate in real-world drinking water problems (and solutions!), and visit a working geochemistry lab in the Earth & Environmental Sciences department. Connects to curriculum in the following courses: SCH3U, SCH4U and SES4U Museum only.
