California Section Produces Booklet for Elementary Students
The California Section of the WateReuse Association has teamed up with the Water Education Foundation to produce a 16-page booklet that teaches upper elementary students how water is recycled. The workbook, called Give Water a Second Chance…Recycle It!, provides background information on the process of recycling water and its similarity to the water cycle, as well as the need for recycled water. It includes engaging double-page activities such as a decoding game about the parts of the water “re-cycle,” mazes through a wastewater treatment plant, online explorations of wastewater microbe life cycles, activities to identify uses for recycled water, and an experiment about salts dissolved in water and the challenges for water recycling.
