Get your Feet Wet this Fall with Slow the Flow!
Slow the Flow is a middle years enrichment program that educates students on water use and conservation at home, at school, and in their communities. Fun and informative conservation messages are presented in a teacher-friendly binder of classroom-ready lessons including student activity sheets, answer keys, background information and experiments.
The Slow the Flow binder includes:
- 15 stand-alone lessons with answer keys
- over 35 pages of reproducible student activity sheets
- a comprehensive subject index organized by core area learning outcomes
The Conservation Ambassadors Program
Water-wise classrooms can track and win prizes for their progress through the Slow the Flow binder . Classes can even win a field trip to FortWhyte Alive to explore water through our Blue Planet program.
Liquid Assets
Liquid Assets is a newsletter for Slow the Flow teachers. It is produced three times each year: fall, winter and spring. Filled with new water activities, great resources and interesting water facts, it continually supplements the activities in the Slow the Flow program.
