SA Water has produced the Interactive House and Garden; an online teaching tool for primary students and their families. This tool can be accessed by clicking the following link Interactive House and Garden.
A Teaching Resource and a Student Watercheck Journal are also available to support this website and have been designed to encourage learners to be engaged with water conservation at home, school or in the community. The Teaching Resource includes curriculum links, learning outcomes and inquiry based student activities.
The Student Watercheck Journal will enable students and their families to measure and record their water consumption at home. It also contains water facts, jokes, tips and fun learning activities. Students can visit the Interactive House and Garden and help the Flusher family to reduce its water use, then estimate and calculate the actual amount of water used in their own home.
This program is suitable for middle and upper primary students as a single lesson or as part of a unit of study on water. As a teaching tool it is suitable for individual self directed learning or for team and class activities.
The Teaching Resource and class sets of the Student Watercheck Journal can be ordered by contacting the SA Water Learning Centre on 7424 1440. To access an online copy, click the links below.
