Project WET is an international, interdisciplinary water education program for teachers and youth educators. The goal is to facilitate the awareness, appreciation, knowledge and stewardship of water resources. A Project WET activity guide will be given to each workshop attendee upon completion. The guide contains 91 activities for grades K through 12 that are hands-on, easy to use, and fun. Activities incorporate a variety of formats, such as large and small group learning, whole body activities, laboratory investigations, discussions on local and global topics, and involvement in community service projects. Each activity is written in lesson plan format. The appendices include cross-referencing by topic, subject, time required, grade level, setting, and teaching methods. The appendices also cover assessment strategies and a skills chart.

Project WET activities can be used to address the new learning standards in New York State within the scope and sequence of existing education programs. This workshop is not just for science educators, as many of the activities can be incorporated into several different subject areas.

The free, 3 hour workshop is available by request and we can conduct them at your teacher center or at a school in your district. Please contact Amy Kochem at Rogers Environmental Education Center to schedule a workshop.
