[ChemVlab+] The Factory: Using a City Water System to Explore Dilution Info

Go to Activity

Description

In this interactive activity, students must determine whether the factories in a fictional town are adhering to the guidelines the city has established for their emissions. The challenge is that, for some factories, the collection point is downstream and so dilution plays an important role in deciding if a given factory is in compliance.
