VIRTUAL LEARNING RESOURCES

Project WET is dedicated to advancing water education for people of all ages. This webpage contains a suite of free and discounted resources that educators, parents, and children can use to learn about water while meeting standards in math, language arts, science, and social studies. We hope this helps educators and students continue learning and exploring in the classroom and beyond!

This page will be updated periodically with new resources and tips, so be sure to check back occasionally.

DISCOVERWATER.ORG

DiscoverWater.org

Water touches every aspect of our lives—the cells in our bodies, the food we eat, the recreational activities that we enjoy, the weather and much more! DiscoverWater.org is a self-directed educational resource about different water topics—ranging from global to personal perspective—which together reflect many of the complex and important roles of water in our lives. DiscoverWater.org is designed for use by children ages 7-12 and for educators and parents of this age group, both in and out of a classroom setting. Although targeted for tweens, learners of all ages enjoy playing games on DiscoverWater.org!
