Teaching Kits
The
WATER project is an exciting, standards-based
water education program to use in your 4th-12th
grade classrooms in Tucson,
Southern Arizona, Maricopa County
and Flagstaff.
The
goal is to facilitate classroom implementation of hands-on,
minds-on water education programs aligned with state standards.
We have integrated related components from several well-established
water education programs, including Project WET,
GLOBE, and Aquatic WILD
to
provide in-depth learning experiences for students.
Participating
teachers receive:
- on
loan teaching kits with curricular materials, audio
visual aids, and scientific water testing equipment
- the
opportunity to attend training workshops
for professional development credit
- and
classroom support from water education
specialists.
Materials
from a variety of sources are integrated into four topical
units of study and packaged into kits with classroom sets
of materials.
Each
kit provides multidisciplinary, inquiry-based activities that
meet state standards in different subject areas.
