Upper Elementary
Designed for students in grades 4-8, this program includes a 6-lesson teacher’s guide, a 3-part video, a computer game and the Arizona Water Map, displaying watersheds throughout the state. It is correlated to the Arizona State Education Standards This study unit may be particularly useful as a supplement to the study of Arizona as a state, or as a supplement to a physical science unit on natural resources. Every effort has been made to integrate many subject areas (geography, math, science, history and art) and to help students develop specific skills (critical thinking, organizing data, predicting, mapping, graphing).
The goals of this unit are to teach students:
- the importance of water as a natural resource
- how water relates to the state's geography
- the nature of the hydrologic cycle
- the place of water in Arizona's history and its importance in Arizona's economy
- how water is used and transported around the state
