Where’s the Water?

Students will investigate to find water and signs of water in their schoolyard (signs of the movement of water (erosion), downspouts, storm drains, relative humidity, clouds, and soil moisture in different areas of the school yard). They will connect the water at school with the greater water cycle, think about how their place in the CT River watershed and use the Enviroscape watershed model to connect their actions with the quality of water downstream (sediment, litter, and other pollutants).

As part of this program, students will:
• Better understand their place in the water cycle and the CT River watershed
• Connect their actions on a local level with the quality of water downstream
• Consider ways they can take action
