Incredible Journey

In this activity from Project WET, students pretend they are water drops and play a game that takes them on a journey through the water cycle. Beads at each station help them remember they're journey. After the game, students verbally share they're journeys using their bead bracelets as reminders, then write a story about their journey. 60 minutes

I Don't Pollute...Do I?

Using a tabletop watershed model, students see how a watershed develops, the kinds of pollution we create, and what we can do to minimize that pollution. Includes map of the school's watershed. 50 minutes

Where Does the Rain Go?

Through this field trip on school property students learn the difference between storm drains and sewers; what watershed their school is in; and where the rain goes when it hits the ground. Includes map of the school's watershed. 60 minutes.

How Much Runoff?

Students hypothesize whether a developed or an undeveloped watershed would have more stormwater runoff. Then they experiment to test their hypothesis, explain why, and come up with alternatives to change the outcome. 50-60 minutes.
