Collaborative earth science groups create a working model of a watershed. Once it has been developed, you come along and introduce a change in land use, impacting the quality of water throughout their watershed. Model making is an outstanding tool to help develop understanding. It would be beneficial to display the "Student Activity Directions" via projector or a handout so that learners can refer to it as they work.
