Developed by educators at Greater Wellington Regional Council, this inquiry unit is available for teachers to download and use with students in Years 5 - 8.
Take Action for Water focuses on water catchments and the ecosystems they contain especially freshwater stream ecosystems and water pollution. It investigates the relationships between the living parts of the ecosystem and the impact we have on it. It shows how we can act to reduce our impacts and help to restore the processes and functions of these ecosystems.
