Nature Vision has developed three science packets for K-12 students: Ecosystems, Watersheds, and Humans & Water. These packets were developed with support from Cascade Water Alliance, these packets are available as a free download for teachers and students.
Each downloadable packet includes the following:
1. Teacher Overview
2. Parent/Caregiver Overview
3. Daily Student Science Lessons
The science lessons are designed for one student to finish with little teacher/parent/caregiver guidance. The Ecosystems packet is designed to be done over a two school week period, while the Watersheds and Humans & Water packets are designed to be done over one week. Every day the student will explore a science lesson related to the packet topic and fulfill corresponding activities that further their understanding. Each packet supports the Next Generation Science Standards and are separated out by the grade bands: K-12, 3-5, 6-8, and 9-12.
