This stream ecology curriculum is intended for grades 6-12 and
draws connections between aquatic life, water quality, and the
way we live in our watersheds. Understanding their connection to
the intricate web of life empowers students to join community
efforts to protect water and habitat where they live.

This video offers step-by-step instructions for making an origami
book. As part of Lesson 11 of the Splash Investigating
Vernal Pools curriculum, Splash students make origami books.
They decorate them with fun facts about vernal pools and drawings

The Splash Secondary Curriculum is exciting and fun

to take notes on what we had found and how it related to
water quality. I look forward to more exciting,
hands-on, inquiry investigation next year with my Biology
students. – Jennifer McAllister, Biology teacher, River
City High School
