NH Project WET
(Water Education for Teachers)
An interdisciplinary, environmental education program utilizing water as its theme is available to any educator by completing a six-hour workshop. All workshop participants receive the 500+ page Project WET Curriculum and Activity Guide (K-12), which contains over 90 educational activities focused on water and people’s relationship to it. These activities were designed by educators to be hands-on, easy to use, and fun and to meet the needs of many different learning styles. Project WET activities promote critical thinking and problem-solving skills and help provide young people with the knowledge and experience they will need to make prudent decisions regarding water issues.
