A project of Modern World Design. Water resource and watershed education with interactive calculators and maps. InterWET can be used as a stand-alone educational resource and as part of larger watershed educational efforts for a variety of people in many different watersheds. Uses the Spring Creek Watershed in central Pennsylvania as a case study. Developed by S.C. Parson, PhD, Pennsylvania State University.
Students share their own field observations with classrooms across North America.
In addition, students are linked with scientists who provide their expertise directly to the classroom. The collection consists of over 130,000 wildlife recordings that represent more than 6,000 species of birds, as well as numerous recordings of reptiles, amphibians and mammals. Using a highly interactive format, Greenskate introduces basic toxicology concepts such as dose-response, routes of exposure, thresholds for toxic effects, biotransformation, and risk assessment. Printed support materials are available for teachers upon request. Lessons are correlated to National Standards.
