Description
The Flood:ED program engages learners in hands-on learning about flooding. Students are guided through various learning and take-action activities, where they learn about the issue, develop a flood resilience plan for their school, take action to combat flooding in their communities and report the impact of their actions.
Students will:
- learn what causes flooding and different types of flooding
- learn about floodplains and watersheds
- explore how climate change affects flooding
- explore different methods of making their school resilient to flooding
The program activities are grouped by topic for students in grades nine through twelve. They can be completed independently or in bundles to take action.
Topics include:
- Learn about Flooding and Flood Resilience
- Flood Resilience Plan for Your School
- Take Action to Combat Flooding
The Take Action lesson plans provide a variety of different ideas for students to take action against flooding
- Adopt a Drain Campaign
- Build a Rain Garden
- Flood Protect Your Home
- Home Flood Protector Scavenger Hunt
- Install Rain Barrels
- Plant a Tree
Once students have completed some or all the activities, register for the Flood:Ed Challenge. Students are invited to build flood resilience in their schools by planning and taking action.
