Teacher's Guide
Overview
Purpose of the Teacher's Guide
The teacher's guide, found on Canvas, will help you get started with guiding your students to create their own watershed designs. The simulation will show instant results!
Students can change the land uses to alter the biological, physical, chemical, and ecological impacts of water quality, wildlife, and biodiversity.
Lesson plans provided in this guide include two introductory lessons, in addition to other teachers' lessons. They are aligned with national science and agriculture standards and include a section with support specifically targeting team-based learning, 4-H, and science fair guides.
Canvas also has a discussion board feature you can utilize.
Additional topics covered in the Teacher's Guide include:
- Learning PEWI
- This is specific to learning PEWI with the intention of then teaching PEWI to your students or participants.
- Exploring Careers
- Resources & Other Games
- Contacts specific to the Teacher's Guide
- And more!
Interested in Lesson Plans?
Our primary objective is to help people understand ecological, social, and economic issues related to ecosystem services, tradeoffs, and land management. We believe PEWI is a powerful tool to achieve this, and hope to expand the use of PEWI with adult learners in stakeholder groups. So, we've compiled some of the lesson plans on our website for you to explore!
