Drinking Water Awareness Activities

The University of Alaska Southeast (UAS) Environmental Technology Department in Sitka developed an educational activity manual related to rural village sanitation with a grant from the National Science Foundation (Grant No. 9553680). Any opinions, findings, and conclusions or recommendations expressed in this material are those of the author(s) and do not necessarily reflect the views of the National Science Foundation. Visit the NSF Projects page (you will leave the ATTAC web site) to view other funded activities.

The manual contains 29 individual activities, intended for teachers of high school level students, emphasizing village sanitation; water, wastewater, solid waste and personal hygiene issues. Each activity contains an abstract, objectives, the State Standards addressed, time frame and schedule, a list of materials needed, teachers' preparation directions, description of student activities, extension activities, assessments, data sheets, references and resources.
