During a field trip to the American Water Company they see the process used in water treatment.
Students use the Internet and work in teams to complete a webquest.
They learn the importance of Water in the City, and acquire facts about the Ohio River and other water resources. They also read about flooding. The students conduct a river, oral history project. They tape interviews with senior citizens who lived through Huntington's 1937 flood or a more recent flood and use a word processor to write up reports. They invite parents, guests, and senior citizens to come to class to see a Power Presentation of what they are learning.
