Details: Their presentation switched between students, explaining various aspects of the water quality of Lake Osooyoos. Presentation methods included a large map with an overlay, a student-made video of the area in question, a model of contamination sources (complete with demonstrations), and graphs that showed some contaminant levels. Students concluded through research, including original research, that the water is safe for human health. They also included ideas for dealing with the pollutant sources.
