Maui's Watershed Scientific Investigation Project Printable Dollar Deal!

★★★ FREE CANVAS TOTE BAG with purchase of any Year Unit Bundle! ★★★

In this free product, students will research how water is a precious resource on Maui where ninety percent of the drinking water comes from its watersheds. This topic relates to scientific investigation because there is a growing problem of fresh water depleting on Maui.

The purpose of this project is to complete a scientific investigation by working in small groups to research issues related to Maui’s watersheds. Groups must come up with three specific, clear questions to uncover. For example:

• “What would happen if there were no watersheds?” is too broad of a question, but “How do Maui’s watersheds affect the Hawaiian honeycreepers?” is clear and specific.

After researching, students will create a PowerPoint, poster, story book or brochure to present your research. Explore and become a citizen of science by learning about Maui’s watersheds! Challenge your students to learn about your local watersheds and what you can do to preserve them.

Project includes the following:

• directions: five criteria to complete with four specific clear and specific requirements.
• rubric: Students self-evaluate and then the teacher too. There is room for teacher to leave comments as well.
• template: a template to guide students to complete all parts of the project is provided
• challenge: an option for extra credit or challenge for your students extends the lesson further by providing more opportunities to research and relate the lesson to local watersheds. This is a differentiation to promote rigor for gifted/talented or all students!
