| The river unit makes
regional connections, showing how watersheds join together
urban communities and suburban towns to open space areas. Students
study stream dynamics to see how water shapes the Earth’s
surface. After learning that water is a limited resource, students
identify sources of pollution that threaten local rivers. After
a canoe trip on a nearby river, the children explore adjacent
wetland habitats rich with wildlife, gaining an appreciation
for the importance of these natural areas to people, animals
and the whole environment.
