Students use a water log (journal or portfolio) to write or illustrate their observations, feelings and actions related to water. The log serves as an assessment tool to monitor changes over time related to knowledge of and attitudes toward water. Maintaining journals can keep students "afloat" while participating in Project WET activities. Learn More
Students match up pairs of water picture cards and, in the process, learn to distinguish water in the three states of matter: solid, liquid and gas. Learn More
In this activity students play the role of coniferous trees. First they learn about seasonal freeze/thaw cycles and dormancy through a game of tag. Students then juggle complex environmental factors to try to survive a growing season in a changing climate. Connections between freeze/thaw cycles, photosynthesis and the global carbon cycle are explored. Learn More
Students replicate rock paintings and carvings to learn about ancient cultures' relation to water and to create their own water-related expressions. Learn More
Students identify plants and animals and their habitats by analyzing clues that describe water-related adaptations of aquatic and terrestrial organisms. Learn More
Investigating, analyzing, and participating in projects that address water resource issues gives students a sense of accomplishment and provides motivation to help manage and protect water. Learn More
