Do your students wonder how all that clean, safe, economical water gets to your faucet? Your students need to know that drinking water is a valuable, limited resource. Join us in summer 2010, our 10th year (11th program), at the award-winning WaterWorks Institute to be held in Eden Prairie, MN.
Investigate drinking water quality and chemistry and learn about inquiry-based models for your classroom and resources within your community. This intensive three-day, hands-on workshop allows upper elementary and middle school science teachers to come away with new teaching ideas and information from expert presenters about how drinking water comes to your home and classroom. Meals and a resource binder are provided. Choose between two graduate credits or a stipend – both will require your attendance at a follow-up day in fall 2010 (date to be determined by group).
Teachers from the Twin Cities Metropolitan Region will have priority in the selection process, but science teachers from anywhere in the state may apply.
Join the more than 200 science teachers that have participated in WaterWorks! over the last nine years and make plans to integrate the topic of drinking water into your science curriculum.
The WaterWorks Institute is co-sponsored by the Minnesota Department of Health, the American Water Works Association, and the Hamline University School of Education's Center for Global Environmental Education.
