Free Education Toolkit for Teachers and Parents

摘要

American Water has launched an online education toolkit designed to teach students the value of water in their lives. Available free of charge to teachers and parents (http://amwater 125 .com/our-commitment/educa-tion-toolkit.aspx), the downloadable lesson plan is geared to students in grades 5 through 12. It is one component in a series of consumer education programs to help mark the company's 125th anniversary. Appropriate for the classroom, community events, and home, the toolkit's 12 lesson plans address issues ranging from where water comes from to ways it is treated and delivered and what is required to keep it flowing. Lesson plan titles, grouped into four units, include "From Source to Tap," "Water on the Home Front: Conservation," "LEED by Example," and "Ancient Writings to Current Laws: Historical Events and the Establishment of Drinking Water Regulations," among others.
