Understanding the Urban Watershed
Education for the Classroom

An integrated approach to learning – using Philadelphia’s water story as the context.

Understanding the Urban Watershed Curriculum Project is designed as a place-based, hands-on and minds-in learning experience for students to increase their knowledge, attitude and behaviors as it relates to their local environment through the water.

Students grow their understanding of water, the relationship of humans and the natural environment and how they impact our environment and how it impacts them to move them to action. You will find in this website resources for widening and deepening learning. Think of it just like water—a drop, a trickle can become a flowing stream, joining with other streams to broader and vaster bodies of water—oceans of learning!
