Ninth graders use maps to identify landscape regions and drainage patterns producing the Black River. They create PowerPoint presentations pertaining to the Black River watershed, its geologic history and highlighting safe rafting...

Pupils list causes of water pollution, discuss how people contribute to water pollution, and explain concept of watershed.

Students examine factors affecting water quality. They test water in a local body of water to determine its quality. They collect data and continue monitoring the water monthly. They assess water quality in the home and on the farm.

Young scholars investigate the function of wathersheds and weather while they follow Lewis and Clark on their jouney west. They also create a map using acurate measurements and build a model watershed.

Students become connected to their watershed by exploring a local water body and mapping its features. They focus on how the local watershed fits into the larger scheme of the watershed.

Eighth graders examine the components of a watershed. They view overheads, discuss the hydrologic cycle, and observe a demonstration of a soil erosion box.

Seventh graders explore watersheds and take samples and analyze the data from a watershed in the area.

Students discuss what a watershed is, complete online activities showing them how to take care of a watershed, and create a model of a watershed that they experiment with to see what happens when it is disrupted by civilization.

Students investigate the impacts of major rainfall and subsequent runoff on turbidity in lakes. They, in groups, develop a presentation of their research and/or write a paper summarizing their investigation.

Students constrct a watershed and write about their observations. Students use maps to locate their area in relation to the watershed and inquire about what is applied to the ground above.

Students compile information about rainfall, lake elevations and releases of water from Tuttle Creek reservoir into maps, graphs and charts.

Students work with the Tribal Council and Elders to explain the historical importance of the area's watershed. They develop a model of the watershed and map the route of water flow from the watershed to the ocean.

Students investigate interrelationships between flowing water and topography within a watershed. They interpret maps of the area, model a watershed, predict a runoff path and communicate water quality information.

Students define a watershed, conductivity, pH, and dissolved oxygen. They identify, correlate, and predict trends and factors shaping a watershed. They analyze the data from the probes and graphs to determine water quality from selected...

Students examine how watershed systems are made up, and visit the Susquehanna watershed system and map out the system. They evaluate the order of watercourses in their area.

Students research and record facts about well, lake, and tap water. They increase their computer skills for research, creating a spreadsheet, and word processing.

Students consider the effects of development on water quality. They test nitrogen levels in waters before and after development, investigate wastewater treatment options and research best management practices to reduce nitrogen loads.

Students experience the effects of pollution and erosion on a model of a watershed and explore ways to change the outcome.

Students read and analyze the story Away on the Bay as a springboard to discuss water pollution. They may look into ways in which water can be cleaned and a watershed restored.

Pupils, through this series of lessons, use local resources, speakers, print and video materials, as well as standard text materials to study the ecosystem of the local watershed.

Students define water basins and watersheds, then delineate the boundaries of their local water basin/shed using maps.
