Lesson idea implementation: The South River in Atlanta is one of the most basic rivers in GA in 2016, just on
the cusp of being able to support life. Working off Big Data I, students will now investigate reasons to explain
pH levels in one specific river (The South River in Atlanta) and determine why its the most basic. As a class
we will collaborate with an expert in the field to come up with possible reasons why. Students will then make
an infograph to tell a story that explains the data they have discovered. Students graphs will then be publish
in a public forum so that others can see what they have created.
