The purpose of this project is to give educators a set of tools that will help them teach about issues related to nonpoint source pollution: a KET documentary, links to Web
sites for kids, an electronic field trip, a living streams
exhibit, and week-long summer institutes.
Kentucky Educational
Television (KET) Documentary
This documentary, about how our activities
impact our streams, will be available through broadcast
and on CD-Rom.
Polluted
Runoff for Kids
This EPA site explains nonpoint source
pollution, provides teachers with information related to
it, and offers fun water-related activities for students
K–12.
Watershed
Patch Program
This EPA site is a collection of watershed activities designed for schools, science clubs, and community organizations.
| An Electronic Field Trip to Watersheds
Teachers and others can use this tool to visually understand
the many issues related to watersheds and human impact.
A
Living Streams Exhibit
Housed at the Department for Fish
and Wildlife Education Center, the exhibit and units of
study can be used in conjunction with classroom visits to
the exhibit, or the units can be used alone.
Week-Long
Summer Institutes in 2006
Three week-long summer institutes
are designed to improve both content knowledge and methods
of instruction about nonpoint sources issues. These institutes
will be hands on, rigorous, and content based. Three jointly
sponsored workshop sites
are offered: Northern Kentucky University/ Morehead State
University, Murray State University/Western Kentucky University,
and University of Louisville/University of Kentucky. Check
each workshop site for more information.
