PBL: Improving Water Quality

What we do on land impacts the health of our waterways. Whether it is building new homes for the community, using the land to grow food, or protecting open spaces as parks, all of these actions can impact our water. Across Tennessee, close to 30% of our waterways are considered impaired or unhealthy. In this project-based learning guide, students will investigate waterways near their home or school, research changes that could improve water quality, model those changes to see how these address water quality, and present their solution to the community.
