Education
Welcome to Freshwater Live!
This program combines online meet-ups, data collection in a local waterway, and the development of a classroom-led freshwater conservation action project to foster stronger relationships between learners and fresh waters. Any classroom can engage with the program by progressively following the ten modules outlined below. The program was specifically designed with grade 6-8 students in mind, but works well for grades 4-8. We hope you enjoy!
“This program helped students realize that learning is not contained to classroom walls. The land is our teacher and we can learn from and on the land. This program impacted their view of real scientists and expanded the horizons of potential futures.”
