I was recently reading the March/April 2023 issue of "Science Scope" a publication of the National Science Teaching Association. In this issue, I read the "Citizen Science" column, written by Jill Nugent. She wrote an article entitled, "Become a Salt Watcher in Your Community."

When students think of salt, they typically think of table salt, which is sodium chloride. Road salt, also known as rock salt, is often sodium chloride or magnesium chloride. The goal of the Izaak Walton League of America Salt Watch project is to monitor chloride levels in local streams and creeks. For more information, please visit:
