The centerpiece of the Project WET program is the Project WET Curriculum and Activity Guide. This 561-page guide is a collection of multidisciplinary water-related activities for ages 5 through 18 that are hands-on, easy to use, and fun! The lessons incorporate a variety of formats, such as large and small group learning, whole-body activities, laboratory investigations, discussion of local and global topics, and community service projects. The guide also features cross-reference and planning charts, a glossary, and background material on activity development and field-testing.
Several tools in the guide can help locate activities to meet teaching needs. These include the following:
- Summary, Objectives, and Assessment of each activity provide an outline of what is to be learned.
- “Charting the Course” section describes related Project WET activities.
- Cross-Reference and Planning Charts classify activities by subject area.
