Stream Webs Field and Classroom Watershed Investigation Curriculum

The Stream Webs Field and Classroom Watershed Investigation Curriculum is designed to help formal and non-formal educators use Stream Webs as a platform to conduct meaningful, field-based, student-driven investigations that continue in the classroom. The desired outcomes are:

• Provide science inquiry-based opportunities for students to work collaboratively in the field in ways similar to scientists;
• Understand that science doesn’t only happen in a lab or classroom;
• Design their own investigative question and research plan;
• Collect data;
• Learn how to look for patterns and changes in their data;
• Make logical conclusions based upon their data;
• Answer or refine their investigative question and/or research plan;
• Understand what the data indicate for their stream over time.
