Students participating in this program will be involved in activities that will provide them with an understanding of the water cycle. These hands on activities will lead teachers and students on a journey through the water cycle, from the air to watersheds to groundwater and through the cave and karst areas. This program will help develop a broad understanding of the importance of our world's water.
The teacher's guide is broken into sections to help organize planning. The activities of each section build upon each other to develop the entire hydrology program or can stand alone to support a study of that individual unit. Teachers can choose all of the activities in a section, or just the ones to meet their needs.
Most of the materials needed have been provided in the trunk. The materials teachers need to supply are easily obtained - such as water.
The entire program can be completed in four weeks by using an approximately one-hour classroom period each day.
