Foundations of Water Education contains some of the most popular Project WET activities, updated to current best practices in education and science curriculum. The lessons in this guide address all of the Principles of Water Literacy and include topics such as properties of water, watersheds, water systems, groundwater, ecology, water use, and management of water resources. Lessons span from lower elementary school through high school level and can be adapted for setting, age level, ability, and time.
