WET Instruction Handbook

WET teaching lessions in this handbook guide WET participants as they select and survey a local surface water body, which may be a creek, lake, stream, reservoir or river. Through water testing, local observation and problem solving, the student teams work to identify sources of pollution. At the conclusions of the water quality activities, the students prepare community awareness projects to share what they have learned. Also contained in this handbook are indoor/outdoor water quality activities that provide hands-on experiments for students in areas where no surface water is available. These activities may also be used to supplement the "WET Activity" section.
