  • The Chemistry of Rocks in the Wissahickon Valley
    The Chemistry of Rocks in the Wissahickon Valley Cristobal Carambo Philadelphia High School for Girls Problem Statement Rationale Proposed Unit of Study Objectives Background Standards Used in the Unit Lesson Plans Appendix Bibliography Problem Statement The majority of my students are sophomores who have had little to no science during their middle school years. This lack of a comprehensive science program in their formative years explains much of their difficulty connecting science to their daily life. This is most evident when I introduce the periodic table of elements and attempt to explain how elements combine to form the many compounds that are necessary in our lives. Although I use many common household chemicals to illustrate the importance of elements and compounds, students still fail to fully appreciate the role that chemistry plays in our understanding of the physical world. I have often attempted to use the chemistry of the rock cycle to connect our class to the real world but many students are unaware of the rock cycle, or have had a cursory general survey of rocks. Understanding the role that elements play in the formation of minerals and how those minerals combine to form the many rock types and materials in our world would create a vibrant connection between the static elements on the periodic table and the world in which we live. In our conversations of the world around us, I have noticed that many of my students have had little or no experiences in natural settings where they could explore and make connections between the concepts learned in the classroom and their environment.

  • Wissahickon Creek Conservation Landscape
    CHAPTER 10 Wissahickon Creek Conservation Landscape The Green Ribbon Preserve, and its included trail system, established by the Wissahickon Valley Watershed Association is the central feature of the Wissahickon Creek Conservation Landscape. The fl oodplain forests along the Wissahickon Creek and Fort Washington State Park are particu- larly important habitat for birds because of the highly developed nature of the surrounding area. Description Location The Wissahickon Creek Conservation Landscape comprises 6,517 acres extending along the Wissahickon Creek from just south of Lansdale to the Montgomery County border with Phila- delphia. It includes portions of Springfi eld, Whitemarsh, Upper Dublin, Whitpain, Lower Gwynedd, and Upper Gwynedd Townships (Figure 10.1). The landscape is anchored by the Green Ribbon Preserve, a project of the Wissahickon Valley Watershed Association. It also includes Fort Washington State Park. It is not contiguous with any of the other conservation landscapes described in this report. Hydrology The landscape lies completely within the Wissahickon Creek watershed. It includes portions of several tributaries including Sandy Run, Prophecy Creek, and Haines Run. The Wissahickon and its tributaries are classifi ed as TSF (trout stocked fi shery) by the Pennsylvania Department of Environmental Protection. The hydrology of the Wissahickon Creek has been severely affected by impervious surface coverage throughout the basin. Ground water recharge is reduced due to the channeling of storm water directly into the streams. Less ground water means less base fl ow. During the summer many of the smaller tributaries go dry and approximately 80 percent of the fl ow in the Wissahickon basin is effl uent from the 12 sewage treatment plants located between the headwaters and the Montgomery Coun- Wissahickon Creek above Swedesford Road ty line.
