In
the Spring of 1997, as a part of our outreach program, AWRA Penn State
Student members designed a 'watershed education' program to introduce
the concepts of watershed and water conservation to school students.
Our chapter conducted the first program in the Spring of 1997 at the
Nittany Valley Middle School, Boalsburg, PA. Sixth and Seventh grade
students participated in this program. AWRA members lead demonstrations
on the origin, quality, biology and movement of water. This demonstration
included some hands on experiments involving the audience.
In 1998, to reach out more schools, our chapter sent
out letters to various schools around the Penn State area to conduct
their watershed program. Our chapter conducted the watershed
education program in the Penn Valley Area High School on May 20,
1998. This program was attended by seventh grade students.
The program was organized in three parts:
Atmospheric Processes Station
Surface Water Processes Station
Groundwater Processes Station
This program is open for all schools and interested
people can contact our student chapter.
