The University of Chicago Laboratory Schools

Water in Chicago's Community

The Lab Schools' contribution to Globalearn's Internation Expedition

While Globalearn's expedition went to Turkey to learn how water is used there, the students in Mrs. Dorman's 5th grade class investigated the use of water in Chicago.

Mrs. Dorman's fifth grade class contributes the following essays on Chicago's water:

The Chicago River: Sources and Pollution
Waste Water in Chicago
Water Usage in Chicago
The Reversal of the Chicago River
The Great Chicago Flood

Mrs. Dorman's class would also like to tell you how to make your own water filter!
