Understand water as a limited resource, and how it becomes polluted.

In this scenario-based activity, students design ways to either clean a water source or find a new water source, depending on given hypothetical family scenarios. They act as engineers to draw and write about what they could do to...

Lessons designed to show students how water quality, water pollution, and personal lifestyle are related. Lessons help students understand the importance of our water resources and water quality. Students will explore the nonpoint and...

In a class demonstration, students observe a simple water cycle model to better understand its role in pollutant transport. This activity shows one way in which pollution is affected by the water cycle; it simulates a point source of...

Use this site to promote environmental awareness in your classroom with this lesson plan on the effects of oil spills on water habitats.

Groundwater is one of the largest sources of drinking water, so environmental engineers need to understand groundwater flow in order to tap into this important resource. Environmental engineers also study groundwater to predict where...

Read how freshwater moving across the surface of the Earth can become polluted and bad for the environment. Create a model that shows how water can become polluted as it flows downhill.
