This guide is one of three teacher's guides developed for the U.S. Geological Survey's Water Resources Education Initiative. Each guide supplements a set in the accompanying poster series which forms the core of this project. This guide covers navigating the water highways, groundwater, and water quality and helps teachers use the included Water Resources posters by providing background material and 12 activities that draw from or build on the poster series. In addition to background information about navigation, ground water, and water quality, the guide contains a discussion on how students can protect water, ideas for further student research, and a list of related resources. The 12 activities are hands-on explorations that involve students in a variety of environmental education topics. Two sets of posters accompany this guide, one for middle school and one for elementary school. (DDR)

This module is one of six in the Environmental Action Program: Energy Conservation, Water Conservation, Food Choices, Waste Reduction, Chemicals - Choosing Wisely, and Habitat and Diversity. Each of the modules provides step-by-step instructions on how to investigate real world environmental issues and presents opportunities to learn and practice action skills in the context of these issues. The program challenges students to actively contribute their ideas, time and energy toward creating solutions at the local level - in their schools, homes and communities. The program encourages cooperative learning, and encourages students to learn and develop personal responsibility for environmental action. The Teacher Resource Guide duplicates key material in the Student Edition, with additional information and resources and blackline masters for all activity sheets.
