Intro Teachers Lesson Plansweb questsAddtional Resources



This website was created to inform and inspire students, teachers, and the general public into environmental conservation action. Our hope is to present everyone with a resource that provides direction and challenges to those that are seeking ways to improve the health of our planet.

for ENVIRONMENTAL CONSERVATIONISTS...

This website includes information about water conservation and water quality maintenance. You will also discover a variety of ways for you to become a water steward as well as techniques to help spread the word to your family, friends, and neighbors. In the "What can I do?" pages are ideas and links to many organizations that provide opportunities for you to become more involved. Many of these organizations are right here in your own backyard. They need your time, energy, and concern to continue to fight for sound conservation practices in our area.

for TEACHERS...

For every generation there must be teachers that will help our young people become aware of and inform them of everyone's responsibility for the maintenance of our fragile planet. With the help of this website, you will help produce a new generation of conservationists. Within this website you will find:

  lessons to help your students understand how water is purified naturally and how we must be aware and participate in the conservation of this valuable resource. These lessons are correlated to State of Ohio Science Standards so the time spent in the classroom is not only informative but also justifiable.

web quests will help familiarize your students with the site and facilitate their ability to grasp important concepts.

service learning projects (found within the “Activities” section of the "What I Can Do" pages) will encourage your students to take action and get involved in real word solutions.

a pre-test and a post-test are available to help you assess student knowledge before and after learning the information contained within this website.

So, look through the site and browse through the resources. Find lessons that appeal to you and meet your grade level standards and you're ready to go. The lessons and resources contained within this site are varied. Some you may already be familiar with. Some may be new to you. If you find several that really work, please share them with other teachers in your building.
