This guide contains 12 activities designed to
inquiry, investigation, and action
regarding local streams and rivers. The activities are sequential and
organized into three topic areas. The first section consists of three
activities that help orient students to their local watercourse.
Students map a local watershed, explore a nearby river, and learn
about the history of the river by interviewing local people. Two
activities in the second section describe how to evaluate a variety
of water quality parameters through field testing. The third section
contains seven problem solving activities involving information
gathered in the previous activities. Students identify problems,
develop future goals,
select an issue to address, contact
organizations and decision makers related to the issue, develop an
action plan, carry out the plan, and evaluate their action project.
Suggestions are included for using computer networks to enhance
students understanding. Appendices contain a teacher evaluation form
and a case study of student action for use in Activity 10.
