Ten Day Water Environment Curriculum

CURRICULUM DESCRIPTION

"A" Booklet:

1. General Description: a written narrative that will recount the major points to be covered during the lesson.

2. Key Terms/Review: a listing including definitions of the important terminology used in the lesson. This section may include a brief review of a concept from a previous lesson which would lead the student into the new lesson.

"B" Booklet:

3. References/Handouts: a listing of the text books to be utilized if there is a need for additional information; a listing of the teaching aids utilized (videos, charts, etc.); and the applicable handouts available. It is the responsibility of the classroom teacher to photocopy these handouts; a copy of each handout is included in the "B" booklet. (Note that the WEF workbooks should be utilized during class, but collected afterwards; singular copies can be made available to assist students).

4. Questions/Homework: a listing of problems/important questions are provided; should these concepts not be raised by the students, the teacher should provide "lead-ins". Our intent is not be burden the students with homework, but it is our belief that some quizzes (typical questions with answers provided in the appendix) plus a small group project should be part of the course.

"C" Booklet:

A teacher's guide and reference manual, the contents contain many references, activities, "hands-on" experiments, and glossary of environmental terms. Additionally, follow-along video guides are offered for students to fill out while viewing each video segment.
