Second Grade
Creek & Stream
In this lesson students will learn what a watershed is and get to know the Upper Alameda Creek Watershed by coloring all the water on the map. Then they can watch a video about what else besides water flows through a watershed. They finish the lesson with a quick quiz to show what they have learned!
To complete the Zone 7 lesson be sure to do the following:
Print the Our Water Map, or open the map and use the Web Paint extension to color your map along with Mrs. Jones on the video (Step #2).
Watch the video and color along during the video. Take a screen shot of your colored map or a picture of your (paper) map when you are done coloring along with the video and email it to your teacher.
Watch the movie "All the Way to the Ocean" that is below.
Fill out and submit the grade 2 worksheet. You can fill it out right on this web page. The results of your quiz will be turned in to your teacher by a teacher from Zone 7 Water Agency.
Your personal information is not taken except your first name.
