About the Watershed Module: Exploring a Region of Our Environment

In this Web-based module, American and Russian students will explore the important global environmental relationship of water and its flow though the watersheds in our areas. All of these explorations will be conducted in both your local environment, and that of the environment of collaborating schools. This will afford you the opportunity to communicate your ideas and make environmentall connections about watersheds.
