On

a Program at Your School |

Watersheds
are a valuable educational tool and can add a lot
to science curricula in any grade. There are many
online resources that can
help in planning lessons, connecting with other schools
and programs, and obtaining necessary materials.
Email
the Wood-Pawcatuck
Watershed Association to find out how they brought
water quality monitering to schools in South County.
