Building A Watershed

Submitted by Teresa Albers on Thu, 07/24/2008 - 12:57pm.

Judith was dynamic. She is a very strong teacher and it seems she is in control of her classroom.

The first lesson was quite transferrable to my classroom. The children could use picture cards and they could learn quickly about food chains, extinction of food sources, and pollutants. I will use this in my room. I think they will all want to be the eagle. A few good books to go along with this lesson would really drive home the point.

The watershed was fun and illustrative of many concepts. It taught about geology in addition to other concepts. What most impressed upon me was how the pollutant traveled around and down the watershed. The pollutants found their way to unexpected places and pooled unpredictably. I wonder if this project could also be used to teach about deforestation and how it effects watersheds.

Thanks for a wonderful learning experience!
