Hands-On Hydrology
Mathews, Catherine E.; Monroe, Louise Nelson
Science Activities: Classroom Projects and Curriculum Ideas, v41 n2 p13-22 Sum 2004
A professional school and university collaboration enables elementary students and their teachers to explore hydrology concepts and realize the beneficial functions of wetlands. Hands-on experiences involve young students in determining water quality at field sites after laying the groundwork with activities related to the hydrologic cycle, cleaning up polluted water, and the nature of wetlands themselves. (Contains 11 figures.)
