Make Your Own Watershed
Students explore the salmon life cycle and watershed connections, using cards to generate questions. They research, gather evidence, and share findings through cooperative work and poster presentations.
Dirty Water Clean Water
Students learn about water pollution and wastewater treatment through a visit from a local “expert,” and make posters or presentations to share and clarify their understanding.
Ocean Impacts
Students research a current ocean-related issue in small groups, using resources to create informative posters. They participate in a viewing session, asking questions about other posters and sharing their findings.
Fishing for the Future
Students discuss changes in fishing methods, then play a game to explore sustainable fishing. They simulate fishing with evolving technology across ocean areas, learning the consequences of overfishing and migration to meet needs.
The Legend of the Bidarki
Students explore the interconnections between the ocean, humans, and living things through a case study of harvesting bidarki in Port Graham and Nanwalek, reflecting on their personal connections to the ocean.
