South Bay Water Connections

South Bay Water Connections Tool KitAll South Bay Water Connections activities have been piloted in local classrooms and are correlated to the California Content Standards for grades 6 to 8 in the areas of Science, English-Language Arts, and Mathematics. These environmental education activities build on each other, but may also be used as separate plug-ins to add a local South Bay perspective to other curricula. View sample activities

Wastewater Jeopardy (PowerPoint, 624 KB) is a perfect complement to the wastewater unit in South Bay Water Connections and is appropriate for secondary school students.

South Bay Water Connections is offered through Wacky Watershed trainings. Visit Teacher Trainings to find out when the next training is scheduled.

 

In addition to the activities in the teacher's guide, South Bay Water Connections includes several other important tools:

  • Download the poster "Wastewater Paths" (PDF format, 131 K)A list of field trips and online resources to support watershed studies,
  • Videotapes on the Water Pollution Control Plant, South Bay Water Recycling, and It's Wet!, It's Wild, It's Water! (an award-winning, MTV-style video with student reporters discussing water supply, water conservation, and pollution prevention),
  • Two classroom posters, including the bird's eye view of the Watershed of Southern San Francisco Bay and the award-winning Wastewater Paths.

South Bay Water Connections is offered through training workshops to all educators working with 6th through 8th graders in the San Jose/Santa Clara Water Pollution Control Plant service area.
