The best formal and informal educators understand
that multiple teaching strategies help students more effectively
grasp core concepts. As educators, we make sure to tell them. We almost
always show them. But how often do we require students to get involved?
At
Experiential EE, LLC we produce and manage projects that bring
high quality
environmental education directly to teachers and students. We incorporate hands-on
activities that require critical reflection. Students learn because they are
engaged. Teachers learn how they can use environmental education topics and
techniques to teach the state curriculum standards.
Children’s Water Festivals
Water comes to life for fourth grade students and
teachers who participate in one of these fantastic field trips. From
simple hydrology to complex water rights decision making, students
learn what they can do to protect their local water. We produce events
in Albuquerque/Bernalillo County and Rio Rancho. For more information
about our festivals, call 505-975-0036 or visit www.waterfestnm.com.

Where
does my drinking water come from right now? What about in the future?
What can I do to protect our water? How is water a precious and
scarce resource? These questions and more are covered by our team
of water resource educators who conduct in-class presentations
to students in grades 1-12 on behalf of the Albuquerque Bernalillo
County Water Utility Authority. To schedule a classroom visit, call 505-975-0036. For more information about this program, email katie@waterfestnm.com or visit www.abcwua.org/waterconservation/education/.

Water Resources Exhibit
One way to communicate the importance of water issues is through a public exhibit. In 2008, the New Mexico Environment Department contracted with Experiential EE to produce a compact traveling exhibit as part of its larger Green Expo sustainability project covering the topics of water, waste management/recycling, energy and green building. The result was Water Wonders, a five-panel, interactive exhibit covering worldwide and local water use, water conservation, water pollution, energy and water and water conservation success stories from New Mexico. The traveling exhibit has been on display at the New Mexico Expo State Fair Grounds, Las Cruces Fair Grounds and the University of New Mexico. To schedule the exhibit to visit your New Mexico-based organization, contact Jill Turner, jill.turner@state.nm.us or 505-231-4996.

How do we use our water? Whether it’s an apple, pair of jeans, electricity or pound of beef, it takes a lot of water to maintain our current lifestyle.

A tiny percentage of Earth’s water is drinkable fresh water. Yet everyday we reduce the amount of usable water without even touching it. How? By contaminating it with the harmful by-products of our daily activities. How do we change that?

Water and energy are truly interdependent. This interconnection creates difficult challenges for the future as we try to supply energy and water to a growing population at the same time that we try to reduce our use of each of these resources.

Water Wonders: Our place in the world of water. Every living thing on Earth needs water to exist and water is found in all living things. It has no substitutes. If we can’t live without water, what do we need to know to preserve & protect it?
