WITH WATER WE THRIVE
Authors/producers: Laura Smith-Fillmore, Helen Fillmore Ileah Kirchoff, Nevada Arts Council
Description:
Students explore topics related to water, starting at the particle level, then moving to the individual, the local, and finally the global perspective. Students consider water sovereignty and their responsibility in caring for our water. Students are assessed using art activities that relate to what they’ve learned. While the curriculum is currently focused on the Truckee watershed in CA and NV, it can be adapted for any watershed.
