Spring -Summer 1995 WATER TALK Page 7 <br />atr duration it <br />ae <br />education and WET activities at the U.S. Fish & <br />Wildlife Office in Morris. <br />by Tara Biumer <br />DNR Volunteer <br />"April showers bring May flowers", the <br />springtime saying goes. However, although the <br />workshop was WET, the weather the day before <br />Earth Day was sunny and dry! <br />April 21 was the historic day of the very first <br />Project WET (Water Education for Teachers) <br />workshop implemented in Minnesota. Twenty <br />participants, including K-12 teachers, SWCD <br />managers and Environmental Learning Center <br />(ELC) staff dove into six hours of water <br />Where will the water you drink this morning <br />be tomorrow? This is one of the questions <br />addressed in the activity The Incredible Journey <br />where students identify different states of water <br />and act out its movement through the water <br />cycle. This was one of the most popular <br />activities of the day where everyone took on the <br />role of a water molecule and, with the role of a <br />die, traversed through the many areas water <br />can move, including clouds, plants, animals. <br />rivers, oceans, lakes, ground water, soli and <br />glaciers. Players then wrote short. stories on <br />water's incredible journey. <br />Some of the activities included Idea Pools, a <br />sharing of ideas, interests, feelings and <br />experiences related to water; Dilemma Derby, an <br />activity to identify and debate the pros and cons <br />of different solutions to water management <br />issues; A Grace Mistake, a mystery game where <br />students analyze data to trace the flow of <br />arsenic in groundwater and identify the culprit <br />polluter, and Salt Marsh Players, arole-play <br />activity where students physically enact the <br />behavioral strategies of marine salt marsh <br />organisms with the changing tides. <br />Workshop participants also viewed the <br />Groundwater Flow Model to see how water and <br />contaminants move beneath the earth's surface <br />and how water is affected <br />by pumping wells and storage tanks. <br />All in all, the first Minnesota Project WET <br />workshop was a tidal wave of fun.
