EPA Water Educator Resources

This EPA hub gathers federal water lesson plans and teacher guides into a single grade-banded list, spanning Darby Duck aquatic experiments for early elementary through Watershed Academy modules for high school. It functions as an index rather than an original curriculum, pointing teachers to activities scattered across EPA program offices that they would otherwise have to hunt down individually.

Our take

It collects EPA's water lesson plans and teacher guides in one place, organized by grade band, but it is a link list rather than a packaged unit, so plan on assembling pieces yourself.

Pairs well with our materials
