Aquatic WILD
Aquatic WILD is Project WILD's companion curriculum focused specifically on aquatic wildlife and ecology, built on the same activity format as the original Project WILD guide but paired with aquatic-specific field investigations and STEM connections. The full K-12 Curriculum & Activity Guide is not sold directly; it is distributed to educators who complete a state-run Aquatic WILD training.
What you will find there
- A K-12 Curriculum & Activity Guide built around aquatic wildlife and ecosystems
- Field investigations and STEM-connected activities tied to real aquatic habitats
- Access through state Project WILD partner agencies, which run the required training
- A track for both formal classroom teachers and nonformal educators (nature centers, camps, and similar)
Our take
The guide pairs aquatic-ecology content with field investigations, and state fish-and-wildlife agencies often run the training at low or no cost, but the guide itself is not available without attending a workshop, so budget time for that step before the school year starts.
Pairs well with our materials
