Course resources below were developed at Kent State University (Fall 2014 - Spring 2019). Additional resources may be available upon request.

Hydrogeochemistry
How does water chemistry vary among different environments? What natural and anthropogenic processes drive the chemical signatures of the hydrosphere?  In this course, students learn the chemical principles that underlie water chemistry in environmental systems.


Example lab activities:
Hydrogeochemistry class demonstrations

Alkalinity Lab
Dissolution Kinetics Lab (of candy!)

 Environmental Soil Science
Soil is a critical natural resource that sustains human life. In this course, students explore the geochemical composition of soils and the physical, biological, and chemical processes involved in rock weathering, soil formation, and the environmental transport of nutrients and toxic elements.

Other courses:
Critical Zone Processes (graduate-level)
How the Earth Works (introductory Geology/non-majors)
Environmental Earth Science 
(introductory Geology/non-majors) 
Science Outreach Activities

These activities can be pitched towards different age groups but are fun for all!
Soil as a Filter
Wetlands and Pollution in Water (developed with Dr. Bridget Mulvey at Kent State)
