How Deep Is the Water?

Real-World Application

This was a very interesting article because it taught students information through simulation but instead of stopping there, they were able to apply in in field experience. It gives students the ability to feel like real scientists rather that students learning in a classroom. Allowing students to experience this gives them the answer to the question we've all asked in school "How can I use this in the real world?" The experience is something I would definitely like to implement in a class of my own.

Project-Based Learning

I love the ideas presented in this article. The ideas of project-base learning are always fascinating to me because they take the pressure off of the teacher while still enriching students with a valuable learning experience. Giving the students an opportunity to learn about water resources and what we can do to protect them teaches students to value the environment through action and practice rather than lecture. It also gives students the opportunity to get out of the classroom and see how these concepts can be applied into our daily lives. I love it!
