Easy enough. She should have her original data to back up her observation. Just let the teacher look at the sample through her microscope. What? She faked her results to make a political point? How could she? This is science.
I have a BS in biology and chemistry, but one of the most amazing things is looking at pond water under a microscope. Hydra and volvox are straight out of science fiction!
The cafeteria water may be fine, but the water fountain water tends to be nasty with the filters that have never been replaced, and the leaching lead and copper. That problem has been covered in the local news about the county school system.
My dad was a janitor at an elementary school I didn’t go to. He said, “Don’t drink the water from that fountain, it’s bad.” He’s the janitor, why doesn’t he get it fixed, or at least turn it off in the meantime?
That’s why we didn’t trust that Atlanta water or this Carolina water we’re living at now. Panel 4 is spot on! Oh, what’s Carolina water? Same as Atlanta water: nasty!

You’ve obviously never drunk the cafeteria’s water, Mister!

It’s days like this when I wonder if some teachers really are qualified for their jobs.

The quote “I feel it in my water” takes on a whole new, creepy, meaning!

If you think it’s made up, then drink this glass of water I brought from the cafeteria.

Any guesses as to what organisms are in the water samples? My microbiology is rusty, but I do notice that the pond water has more diversity.

I agree with the teacher. People can be bias about what they consume these days.
