Waterways Projects

Field trips to your local waterway involve your students in:
		learning by gathering and interpreting their own waterways data
		obtaining other data and making comparisons
		achieving learning outcomes
		involving their caregivers and family groups in local waterway monitoring activities
		becoming water-wise and able to make lifestyle choices to improve the quality of our environment

Some regional councils are putting student work onto their websites. We are keen to make links to other sites showing student work. Please contact us if you would like a link to your project.
