Georgia`s Native Waters and Project Wet
Presented by Georgia Conservancy
January 21, 2006
and February 11, 2006
Instructor:
Karen Garland, Environmental
Education Coordinator for the Georgia
Conservancy.
These workshops
will create awareness among participants
about the important role water can play in
their classrooms. Teachers will become
empowered by being provided teaching tools
that can provide interdisciplinary,
practical outdoor learning opportunities for
improved student achievement. They will
learn the skills necessary to complete
interactive projects for the indoor and
outdoor classroom. Connections will be made
to the curriculum by participating in
hands-on activities, research projects,
service learning, and online scientific
investigations.
Designed to be more than conservation
education, Georgia`s Native Waters
is an
interdisciplinary set of environmental
education lessons and over 55 activities for
kindergarten through twelfth grade students
that inspire them to apply classroom
knowledge to real-world situations through
the investigation of many of Georgia's
amazing aquatic ecosystems, while at the
same time connecting how community values
can impact these areas.
Project WET facilitates and promotes awareness,
appreciation, knowledge, and stewardship of
water resources through the dissemination of
classroom-ready teaching aids. The
Project WET curriculum guide contains
over 90 broad-based water resource
activities that were developed and
field-tested by over 600 educators and
resource managers working with 34,000
students nationwide.
