This document provides the grading criteria for an organizational structure presentation assignment. It lists the topics that must be covered in a 10-15 slide PowerPoint presentation with speaker notes. Students must identify the type of organizational structure, how the structure supports client-centered care, and how information systems, communication methods, and decision-making relate to the organizational culture. Students also need to identify formal and informal reporting lines and how social/cultural influences and generational differences impact the organizational culture. The presentation must follow APA guidelines.

Lab 2 – Water Quality and Contamination
Experiment 1: Effects of Groundwater Contamination
Table 1: Water Observations (Smell, Color, Etc.)
Beaker
Observations
1
The water clear with no odor
2
The oil floated to top cloudy no odor
3
The water smelled like vinegar/ little cloudy
4
Soap bubbles formed and remained at the top, no odor
5

4. The water is brownish with a light dirty smell
6
The water was brownish with some soil at the bottom with a
little oil
7
The water was a little brown vinegar smell with a little particles
at the bottom
8
The water was brownish with more particles than #5,6, and 7 no
smell and cloudy
POST LAB QUESTIONS
1. Develop hypotheses on the ability of oil, vinegar, and laundry
detergent to contaminate groundwater.
a. Oil hypothesis = Oil will not contaminate but possibly the
amount of water filtered may change
b. Vinegar hypothesis = Vinegar will contaminate and would
allow the soil to filter
c. Laundry detergent hypothesis = The water would pass
through but will be contaminated with soap bubbles.
2. Based on the results of your experiment, would you reject or
accept each hypothesis that you produced in question 1?
Explain how you determined this.
a. Oil hypothesis accept/reject = Oil would be trapped in the
soil / Accept
b. Vinegar hypothesis accept/reject = Vinegar would pass
through the soil / Accept
c. Laundry detergent hypothesis accept/reject = Laundry
detergent would contaminate the water / Reject
3. What affects did each of the contaminants have on the water
in the experiment? Which contaminant seemed to have the most
potent effect on the water?
Answer = It seem all contaminants had effects on the water with
vinegar seeming to have the most potent effect and you could
identify it by the smell and the detergent had not odor and a
little cloudy. The oil seems as though it will leave the water

5. with less contamination.
4. Using at least 1 scholarly source, discuss what type of affects
these contaminants (oil, vinegar, detergent) might have on a
town’s water source and the people who drank the water?
Answer = Contaminants could cause potential health problems
such as hepatitis, cholera and affect infants with the blue baby
syndrome.

5. Describe what type of human activity would cause
contaminants like oil, acid and detergents to flow into the water
supply? Additionally, what other items within your house do
you believe could contaminate the water supply if you were to
dump them onto the ground?
Answer = Contaminates like motor oil, gas from human activity
and household contaminates would be from cooking oil, house
hold cleaning products, battery acid, jewelry cleaner and paint.
Experiment 2: Water Treatment
POST LAB QUESTIONS
1. Develop a hypothesis on the ability of your filtration
technique to remove contaminants.
Hypothesis = Coagulants and alkalinity will remove most of
groundwater contaminants. For example the funnel filled with
the activated charcoal, sand and gravel seemed to produce clean
water.
2. Based on the results of your experiment, would you reject or
accept the hypothesis that you produced in question 1? Explain
how you determined this.
Accept/Reject = Accept / The coagulants bonding together with
small to large particles separated contaminants from the water.
3. What are the differences in color, smell, visibility, etc.
between the “contaminated” water and the “treated” water?
Answer = The treated water was clearer with no odor from the
contaminants.
4. From the introduction to this lab, you know that there are
typically five steps involved in the water treatment process.

6. Identify the processes (e.g., coagulation) that were used in this
lab and describe how they were performed.
Answer =
Soil was separated from the water
Allow contents time to separate
Rocks would separate large particles from water
Sand and charcoal would separate smaller particles from the
water
Use chemicals to decontaminate the water

POST LAB QUESTIONS
1. Develop a hypothesis on which water source you believe will
contain the most and least contaminants.
Hypothesis = Tap water would have the most contaminates due
to its travel through different pipes. Dasani water would have
the least contaminates being that it’s treated and Fiji water
comes from a natural spring.
2. Based on the results of your experiment, would you reject or
accept the hypothesis that you produced in question 1? Explain
how you determined this.
Accept/reject = I would not accept or reject as Fiji and tap
water has contaminants with Dasani being the purest.
3. Based on the results of your experiment, what major
differences, if any, do you notice between the Dasani, Fiji, and
tap water?
Answer = Not a big difference as all water is treated except
water from a natural spring. Although, it seems that Dasani
would be the cleanest and you would think that Fiji water would
be the purest as it is from a natural spring and I personally like
spring water or purified.
4. Based on your results, do you believe that bottled water is
worth the price? Why or why not?
Answer = Yes, I believe that bottled water is worth the price as

9. the water in my area would come from the Chattahoochee river
and no matter how much its treated the taste is horrible.

*NOTE – Do not forget to go to Lab 3: Biodiversity, and
complete “Experiment 1: Diversity of Plants” steps 1 through
6. Steps 1 through 6 need to be completed in order to be
prepared for Week Three, however, results for this experiment
will not be calculated until next week. Thus, while nothing is to
be handed in for this experiment until the end of Week Three
you must plant the seeds this week to ensure that you can
complete week 3 on time.
