These Units provide an opportunity for upper elementary school teachers to connect students to the environment and one of the most fundamental elements of all living things-water.
Together, teacher and student explore their role and responsibility to individually and collectively protect and sustain this shared resource for today, for tomorrow and for future generations.
For the Love of Water
What can your students do to contribute to a healthy and just Philadelphia for all Philadelphians?
In this Unit, students will discover new ways that water and other natural resources that make up our stuff cycle, renew and replenish. The question is, Can we use them forever?
By the end of the Unit, students will be able to take action towards an environment that is litter-free and where our waterways, which provide drinking water, are fishable, swimmable, safe and accessible for all to enjoy, now and into the future.
Me and My Watershed
What actions will your students take to protect our land and water?
In this series of Learning Experiences, students will explore how human settlement has been shaped by the environment and how people, in turn, have changed the environment.
By the end of the Unit, students will be able to use their voice to express their vision for a future that is sustainable and enables all living things to thrive over time.
