Students gather around water test kits, using chemicals and tablets to test the water.

Water Education

Water is essential for life and is all around us. Students connect with their nearby water bodies as they investigate aquatic ecosystems and how water moves through watersheds as well as how to minimize the effects of human activities. Where possible, students conduct chemical testing, biological assessments, and habitat surveys of a nearby body of water. Lessons support NGSS standards ESS2, ESS3, and LS4.
