What is a watershed?
Why is recycled water important to our community?
How can I help protect water from pollution?
Here's the perfect workshop to help middle school educators answer these questions and involve students in watershed protection through hands-on learning! The City of San Jose has developed South Bay Water Connections, educational activities that focus on issues affecting our local Santa Clara Basin watershed. The City of San Jose will be offering a few Wacky Watersheds Workshops throughout the year. Participants will receive a FREE South Bay Water Connections education packet that's filled with science, language arts, and math activities -- all correlated to the California Content Standards for grades 6-8. Three videos and two posters are also included. Contact Jennifer Durkin for further information on up-coming workshop dates.
