Water Conservation Data Jam

5+ hour Unit
Target audience: 6th-12th Grade Students
This unit was designed to introduce 6-12 grade students to the effects of climate change on water resources and inspire them to take action based on data. We partnered with the USDA Southwest Climate Hub to design an engaging, fun, and scientifically rigorous education unit aligned with Common Core State Standards and Next Generation Science Standards. This unit is freely available and intended for use by anyone, especially educators of 6-12 grade students. The unit consists of several designed to be conducted over five or more days. However, there are many stopping points and the unit need not be completed in its entirety.
