Discover

Your pupils will have the opportunity to discover the difference between stormwater and wastewater. They will find out what happens when the wrong things go down the drain, and learn what they can do at home and school to improve their environment.

Investigate

During an outdoor activity, your pupils have the chance to work collaboratively to make a terrain with lakes and rivers. This hands-on activity will consolidate what they learned in class about the journey water makes from the lakes, down rivers and to the sea.
