2023 Aurora Water 5th Grade Teacher Workshop
How Do We Get Clean Water?
This workshop is designed specifically to provide teachers with the background knowledge to teach the 5th Grade Water Unit, "Where Does our Clean Water Come From and Where Does it Go After We Make it Dirty?" Discover first-hand, where our water comes from, how it is delivered to customers and what happens when it goes down the drain.
Learn about Colorado water challenges while you explore our mountain watersheds, learn about the effects of climate change and forest fires on our water, conduct water quality studies, tour a water-wise garden and visit Aurora's water and wastewater treatment facilities.
You’ll walk away with the nationally recognized Project WET (Water Education Today) curriculum guide, ideas on how to use these activities to supplement curriculum and access to innovative educational opportunities provided by the Aurora Water Department.
- July 11 & 12 - 8 a.m.- 5 p.m.
