FREE Professional Development Workshop For Teachers! Project WET is a water education resource for teachers that provides hands-on activities and teaching ideas in a curriculum guide for grades 8 -12. Participants receive the Project WET Educational Activity Guide containing over 100 activities designed to teach students about topics such as water chemistry, hydrologic cycles, water uses, watersheds, and water conservation.
Guide activities are organized based on the following conceptual framework: Water has unique physical and chemical characteristics. Water is essential for all life. Water connects all Earth systems. Water is a natural resource. Water resources are managed. Water resources exist within social constructs. Water resources exist within cultural constructs. Project WET activities are designed to complement existing curricula rather than displace or add additional concepts. Activities fulfill objectives and educational standards in the sciences, as well as other disciplines, from fine arts to health.
