This place-based stream ecology curriculum draws connections between aquatic life, water quality and the way we live in our watersheds. By studying the life in local streams, secondary students meet myriad small creatures who depend on clean water for life. Understanding their connection to this intricate web of life empowers students to join community efforts to protect water and habitat where they live.
This three-lesson curriculum, suitable for grades 6-12, does not require hours of preparation. On the contrary, Life in Our Watershed: Investigating Streams and Water Quality allows teachers to dive right in with their students!
