Description of Program:

Two Weeks of Water Curriculum: Greenlee County has conducted water education using the Two Weeks of Water curriculum, mainly targeting all 4th graders in Clifton and Duncan schools. The curriculum consists of 10 lessons: 5 dealing with water quality and 5 with water conservation and includes numerous hands-on activities.

Audience: The Two Weeks of Water curriculum is for 3^rd and 4^th grade students and in Greenlee County was used to target 4^th graders in Clifton and Duncan Schools.

Current Status: The program is inactive due to staffing difficulties and 4-H related priorities.

Impacts: Encouraged teachers to emphasize water resource education as part of their science curriculum.

Lessons Learned: Direct communication with the teachers and a free copy of the curriculum provided enough incentive to interest teachers in this program.
