Watching Our Water

Grades: 6th - 8th

Welcome to Watching Our Water, a three-part water education program for 6th-8th grade students about the intricacies of Tucson's unique water situation, focusing on water sources, the urban water cycle, water use, and water conservation. It includes a pre-visit video, a hands-on and interactive classroom presentation (designed to fit into a typical 50-60 minute class period), and a post-visit video. Each student receives an in-depth Watching Our Water Learning Guide filled with engaging activities and video links to reinforce newly acquired learning. The presentation and related lessons are aligned with ADE standards. Watching Our Water is sponsored by Tucson Water and offered free of charge to Tucson-area schools.
