New water education toolkit available online...

In acknowledgement of the vital role waters play in our lives, the Australian Government has released the Australian Water Education Toolkitand made the material freely available via their website www.environment.gov.au/water/education.

The website provides a repository of hundreds of teaching and learning opportunities, assisting teachers at all year levels to access national, state, territory, regional and urban water resources.

I wonder if there are any opportunities for you to let your schools know about this through your Journal, newsletters or any other channels you have?

It offers free access to:

·         lesson plans

·         student activities

·         resource sheets

·         maps and charts

·         and Australian Curriculum links.
