You and your students are invited to participate in the Arizona Project WET Water Scene Investigation (WSI) Program occurring in your community. WSI is a water education program that is free for schools and classrooms. In this campy but complex Unit of Study, juvenile detectives of the Cold-Water Case Squad investigate and identify the cause of a calamity in the community. Student sleuths work together, finding the clues that protect lives and livelihood; solving the question, “What’s in the WATER?” before time runs out!
By participating in the program, your students will:
- Analyze data to solve a mystery and identify potential groundwater pollutants.
- Identify surface forms of pollution and consider ways to reduce urban runoff and the flow of contaminants in water throughout a watershed.
- Detect the role of water in human/animal wellness and connect environmental health challenges to threats associated with a changing climate.
- Conclude that past solutions, developed with the best intentions, may create contemporary problems.
- Act as environmental stewards, conserving and keeping water clean through both behaviors and available technologies, supporting resilient solutions that benefit the (biodiverse) community.
