    That Magnficent Groundwater Connection

    Two complete groundwater resource books are now available for teachers: one for grades K-6 and the other for grades 7-12. Both editions include selected groundwater-related activities adapted from available curricula. Incorporating the groundwater theme into science, stories, songs, math, social studies, art, and writing makes the resource books applicable over a range of subjects.

    The activities focus on groundwater issues in New England. Presenting the information with a New England spin teaches students about the region’s geologic and hydrologic idiosyncrasies and how groundwater and the water cycle function locally. Recognizing today’s children as tomorrow’s leaders, the curricula challenges students to think, sort out facts, brainstorm, experiment, and learn.

    That Magnificent Groundwater Connection costs $25 for K-6 and $25 for 7-12. To order your copy or copies, and/or to organize teacher training in how to use the curricula, send an e-mail to our Lowell office. Please put 'Groundwater' in the subject line.
