Water
is fun! Whether it is the ocean or a bathtub, children of
all ages are naturally fascinated by and gravitate toward
bodies of water.
Earth
is a water planet and all forms of life are dependent on
this precious liquid for survival. The study of it is truly
an interdisciplinary subject that spans all areas of science
and math and can be easily integrated across the entire
school curriculum. Clean water and preserving water resources
are issues at the forefront of public concern and policy-making
decisions. As we critically look at our environment, we
are now facing a freshwater imperative both nationally and
globally, and projects that bridge generations and disciplines
are needed to face this challenge.
The
mission of the WET Science Project is to provide a model
that can serve to educate and aid in gaining student and
teacher appreciation and participation in protecting our
water resources for future generations, as well as promote
lifelong learning in science.
