Mapping water at my school

The activity Mapping water at my school encourages students to actively observe what happens to precipitation in their local school catchment – the outdoor sports fields, courts, paths, playgrounds and roofs – and to identify the source of indoor water use and its disposal.

It uses online mapping and outdoor exploration to gather, interpret and critique data about the local environment.

The student handout has word cards students can use to create a water cycle that includes the water at their school.
