We’ll use a model of a watershed to investigate how water moves through our landscape and have a chance to make our own model to test in the classroom.

Students explore their connections to water while participating in a worldwide, citizen science initiative - collecting water quality data in the Saugus River.

Through this activity, students will learn that healthy watersheds are vital for a healthy environment and economy. They will explore the following question: How can understanding watersheds and particularly the Elwha watershed help you protect the water and other natural resources?

The student will be able to organize details about two estuaries on opposite coasts in a way that highlights how the Chesapeake Bay and Puget Sound are similar and how they are different. Given prompts, students will research, collect and organize details in a chart type format.

Evaluating farmlands that saved Washington, D.C. in the past and today’s management practices that save future water quality.
