DiscoverWater.org
DiscoverWater.org is Project WET's free student-facing site, offering nine interactive modules that walk elementary students through the water cycle, watersheds, oceans, and everyday water use. It runs in a browser with no account and requires no teacher preparation.
What you will find there
- Nine interactive modules, including The Water Cycle, Explore Watersheds, and Use Water Wisely
- Soap and Water Science and Healthy Water Healthy People hygiene modules
- A personalized printable Take Action poster built from items students collect across the modules
- Full versions in English, Spanish, and Chinese
Our take
It suits computer-lab time or early finishers in grades 2 through 6, and the trilingual support helps in multilingual classrooms; older students are likely to find it too simple.
