Healthy Water, Healthy People Educators' Guide and Workshop

In this workshop and educators’ guide, lessons engage students in discovering concepts of good science. Through the use of the inquiry (scientific) process, students understand what goes into water quality testing and what those values mean. Water testing kits and macroinvertebrate sampling kits are introduced at this workshop for use in conjunction with the water quality lessons.

Topics addressed in a typical Healthy Water Healthy People Workshop:

• Quality data collection,
• Water quality’s effect on human health,
• Water quality parameters and the relationships between them,
• Water quality testing,
• Life in healthy systems,
• Pollution prevention,
• Water quality management, and
• Restoration of waterways and riparian areas.
