Help Build the
People Pipeline

Center for Water Studies faculty and staff, with generous financial support from the National Science Foundation, partnered with high school educators from Grossmont Union High School District and Helix Charter High School to create water studies curriculum materials for chemistry, physics, and earth sciences, along with a supplementary Career Exploration module.

Click on the images below to learn how you can build awareness of rewarding water jobs and link studies in Science, Technology, Engineering and Math to opportunities in the water, wastewater and conservation industries.

Please let us know what you think. Reach out if you'd like to collaborate, and at the very least, take a minute to let us know you're out there searching for quality materials, and if you plan to use any of our resources. Your input helps us improve our program, and quantify our usefulness for our sponsors.

Vanessa would love to hear from you!

Curriculum

Each module is

4 weeks long

Introduces grade 9-12 students to career pathways in California’s water utilities. Accompanies 5E lesson plans developed to lead grade 9-12 students through an exploration of water in California and worldwide, from Earth Sciences, Chemistry and Physics perspectives.

INTRO TO WATER UTILITIES

The Water Transportation (Physics) module focuses on the energy transmittal relating to water supply, flow and distribution. Student will be able to demonstrate how water is distributed across systems while taking in account the range of constraints and consideration of social, cultural, and environmental impacts on the current water supply.

WATER TRANSPORTATION

The Chemistry in Water module focuses on the chemical properties of water and the role of water in Earth’s surface processes. Student will be able to discuss resource availability related to water and the challenges in supporting global and local needs of communities.

CHEMISTRY

IN WATER

GOT WATER?

The "Got Water?" (Earth Sciences) module focuses on the sources of water and its impact on the Earth’s systems. Students will be able to explore the development of possible solutions regarding expanding the availability of water sources.
