Inquiry into the natural world is a powerful way to teach science, math, language arts, and more. Virtual Watershed is a project to support this inquiry through hands-on outdoor activities, classroom units, and computer interaction. What we do affects our watersheds. Protecting and preserving our clean waters is the job of scientists, politicians, and all of us. The study of watersheds helps prepare students for their roles as future citizens.
Students can learn about watersheds in classrooms, at a stream, at home, outdoors, or at a computer.
This is true scientific inquiry, not the memorization of facts, but awakening to the wonder of our world. We invite interested teachers and students to join in this project. You can contact us by email, participate in our discussion groups, join our listserv and use our links. We want you to learn about our watersheds. We would like to learn about yours.
