This is an excellent web site for teachers to use guided inquiry learning activities in their classroom. Estuary-Net was developed by the National Estuarine Research Reserve System in response to water quality issues arising in coastal areas. This project strives to develop collaborations among high schools, community volunteer water quality monitoring groups, local officials, state Coastal Zone Management programs and National Estuarine Research Reserves to solve non-point source pollution problems in estuaries and their water sheds.
The site provides many classroom activities which are divided into three levels of order to provide degrees of involvement in the subject. Schools which do not have easy access to watershed areas can still participate in the Estuary-Net activities. All activities have objectives, assessments, time needed, materials, procedures, and hypothesis.
