StreamWatch Schools
The StreamWatch Schools program will engage elementary, middle, and high school students in water quality monitoring, data collection, and data analysis with the support of Watershed Institute Educators. Depending on your class’s specific needs, Watershed Educators will provide in-class and/or streamside instruction to assist with data collection. Our aim is to create an accessible program that is flexible and customizable based on your interests and needs. The StreamWatch Schools Program will feature access to lesson plans aligned to Next Generation Science Standards, with detailed fieldwork procedures, community discussion boards, and a new, custom-built web-based platform for inputting, viewing, analyzing, and sharing water quality data. Participation in this program is free of charge.
StreamWatch Schools is a new program from The Watershed Institute launched in August 2022 and piloted during the 2022-2023 academic year. Participation in the pilot program is currently by invitation only as we will be working closely with our pilot schools to solidify the details and logistics of the program.
