Dirty Water Reboot
Teams of students will investigate, develop, and test an apparatus that cleans a dirty water sample and describe how it works.
Can You Drink Dirty Water?
In this lesson, students will learn about water on Earth and its distribution through an article reading, and determine the amount of freshwater on Earth using a world map.
Water: Purify & Package!
Students will explore human impact on climate change and the importance of purified water (what it is and how it embodies climate resilience). In groups, they will brainstorm and design a nature-based/sustainable alternative to plastic water bottles in order to value purified water.

Inspiring Water Sustainable Practices
In this interactive STEM challenge, students will work in teams to design and build their own water filtration systems using simple materials while exploring the real-world concepts of microfiltration, reverse osmosis, and ultraviolet light.
Sustainable Careers
Students will research sustainable careers in the area. A list of local companies and careers will be provided to students who will then fill out a Google slides template explaining the career. Students will then present their slideshow to their classmates.
