Upper Trinity created a Story Map website, 'Being Water Wise in North Texas,' to serve as a teaching tool and resource hub for water and watershed science educational material for teachers, parents and students in North Texas. The Story Map includes videos and links to other resources to further students' understanding of water related topics. Visit our Story Map and start learning!
Upper Trinity partnered with the University of North Texas to develop new lesson plans covering streamflow dynamics, identifying macroinvertebrates in streams, and comparing the water use of native plants vs. non-native plants. Each lesson plan is accompanied by a field guide and video. These lesson plans are available for free to teachers and can be requested below.
