Environmental Pollution and Lichens: Student Laboratory Kit
By: The Flinn Staff
In the Environmental Pollution and Lichens Laboratory Kit for environmental science, discover the value of lichens as living indicators of environmental quality. Experiment to see how different given pollution samples affect lichens.
Lichens are a terrific indicator to monitor environmental pollution. In this kit, students discover the value of lichens as living indicators of environmental quality. Students will perform experiments to see how different given pollution samples affect lichens. Pollution data will be analyzed and compared. Teachers Notes, reproducible student handouts, lichens and simulated pollution samples are provided.
