Watersheds...In your journal?




Ok Ok :).  The picture doesn't quite show the educational benefits of this activity.  The contours of the paper allowed us to figure out that water obeys gravity!  Every single student created their own watershed.  By doing so, we were able to combine all of them into the picture you see above.  It is a crude outline of the state of North Carolina.  You folks did a great job figuring out that certain areas of North Carolina can only get water from certain areas!  We live in the Yadkin/Pee-Dee Watershed/River Basin, but there are 15 other river basins as well.

Great job!!!
