Sixth grade science students at the Alameda Community Learning Center will take on the roles of real-life environmental scientists this school year,
thanks to a collaboration with Save the Bay and grant support from Bio-Rad.
Using the Pasco SPARK system of dataloggers to enable remote collection of pH,
salinity Ervin
Santana Jersey , and ORP data, learners will conduct a geochemical and
microbiological survey of two native plant restoration areas in the SF
Bay.
The analysis will provide a map of pH, salinity, and oxidationreduction potential, which will be used by the Save the Bay
organization to select the optimal plants for each area. The final project
results will be presented to Save the Bay in the spring of 2011, in the form of
GIS constructed maps with embedded geochemical and microbiological data.
The Alameda Community Learning Center is located on San Francisco Bay Kelvin
Herrera Jersey , a short distance from Save the Bay's Damon Marsh native
plant restoration areas. On a field trip to help plant native plants, students
learned that the salinity and pH of the soil is influenced by tidal and rainfall
patterns together with the flow of water from the nearby creek. As a result, it
is hard to predict which plants will do well in any specific
area.
Curious about whether they could assist in the plant restoration effort by creating a map of soil conditions that could be used to guide plant
selection, ACLC Science Facilitator Milt Friedman and his class partnered with
Save the Bay and applied for financial support from Bio-Rad, a Hercules, CA
based
company Frank
Thomas Jersey , to bring the project to life.

seminars I often compare debt to an infection. A reasonable amount of debt will
not kill a
business Addison
Russell Jersey , but too much debt will. While most businesses carry a
substantial amount of debt from time to time, it must be maintained in an
acceptable relationship to stockholder's equity.
Infection is also a threat in business relationships. How serious the illness your business'
relationships experience depends on how effective management is at controlling
business relationship germs that are spread around in the normal course of doing
business.
