New Resources for Learning Outdoors
Learning Outdoors How to Begin – This brochure is to assist informal educators with preparing for a school.
The following documents are easy organizational tools facilitators can use when taking children outside
Milk Carton Clipboards – The Milk Carton Clipboards are small enough for students to slip them into a pocket while providing a firm waterproof surface for children to write on.
Sit-Upons – The Sit-Upons is an easy way to organize children in different groupings (circle, lines, rows, random or physical distancing are just a few options.)

Resources for Parents and Educators Open During Pandemic
The Project WET Foundation in the United States has provided access to some of their free educational resources electronically in response to the COVID-19 school closures. These resources are available to teachers and parents. The materials include books, workbooks, ideas for hands-on activities, and an online game. Many of these materials are available for electronic download.

Backgrounders and Student Sheets
A Grave Mistake
Groundwater is an important source of drinking water in Canada. About 30 % of the Canadian population relies on groundwater as their source of drinking water and the majority of these users live in rural areas.
Back to the Future
In Canada, floods are a common phenomenon and overflowing conditions can be caused by snowmelt, runoff, ice jams, heavy rainfall, storm surges or the failure of a natural or man-made dam.
Get the Groundwater Picture
Although we do not see it, a large portion of the Earth’s fresh water is stored in the ground. Groundwater makes up about 30% of all fresh water resources on the planet. In comparison, surface water reporesents only 0.3% of the Earth’s fresh water resources.
Hydrologic Bank Account
Hydrologists studying a watershed may develop a hydrologic budget in order to understand how much water enters and leaves a specific watershed and how much is available for different purposes.
Invaders
Aquatic invasive species are plants and animals that are not native to a region and whose introduction and spread in a new region can cause environmental or economic harm.
Macroinvertebrate Mayhem
The presence or absence of certain macroinvertebrate species can be an indicator of water quality.
My Water Footprint
Although we do not see it, a large portion of the Earth’s fresh water is stored in the ground. Groundwater makes up about 30% of all fresh water resources on the planet. In comparison, surface water reporesents only 0.3% of the Earth’s fresh water resources.
Nature Rules
Water plays an important role in many natural disasters. These events can have devastating consequences and Canadians are not immune to such natural disasters.
Pass the Jug
Water rights are a system through which water resources are allocated for various purposes. As water demand increases, tensions can arise between the different users, particularly in regions with limited water resources.
Thunderstorm
Thunderstorms often bring intense rainfall and can cause sever flooding. The amount of precipitation released during a thunderstorm are monitored through a network of weather stations.
Wetland Soils in Living Colour
Wetlands occupy about 14 % of Canada’s land surface, an area slightly larger than the province of Ontario. Most of these wetlands are peatlands located in boreal and sub-arctic regions in northern Canada.

Dr. Don Waite is an environmental scientist who writes and sings songs about the environment. These songs cover many serious topics including water, air pollution, the five R’s (recycling etc.), the greenhouse effect, and much more, but in a humorous fashion that encourages group participation and laughter.
