This book was released on 1997-04-23 with total page 97 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Watershed research is conducted by the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) to expand our understanding of basic hydrologic mechanisms and their responses at the watershed scale and to provide information that serves as the basis for water and environmental management activities carried out largely by other governmental and private entities. The work of the USGS in this area is carried out by its Water Resources Division and occurs in three general program areas: basic research, regional and site assessments, and data collection. These activities are becoming increasingly important, especially in the context of water and environmental management, where contemporary problems are being approached more than ever on an integrated ecosystems or watershed basis and where the underlying physical, chemical, and biological science is complex. Although the value of this type of hydrologic research is well recognized within the USGS, available financial resources to support it remain modest. Thus, this study seeks to help maximize the effectiveness of the agency's work. The study took two years, during which time the committee visited field sites, received briefings, reviewed descriptive materials, deliberated toward conclusions, and wrote this report. Recommendations are intended to assist the USGS in improving its overall strategy for work in this area; descriptions of a number of scientific opportunities are included, and appropriate circumstances for collaboration with and support for others are identified.

Download or read book StreamWebs Field and Classroom Watershed Investigation Curriculum written by Amy Hoffman and published by . This book was released on 2017 with total page 41 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The unit is designed for 6th through 9th grade but may be adapted for older or younger grade levels. The StreamWebs Field and Classroom Watershed Investigation curriculum is designed to help formal and nonformal educators use StreamWebs as a platform to conduct meaningful, field-based, student-driven investigations that continue in the classroom. The desired outcomes are to provide science inquiry-based opportunities for students to work collaboratively in the field in ways similar to scientists; to understand that science doesn't only happen in a lab or classroom; to design their own investigative question and research plan; to collect data; to learn how to look for patterns and changes in their data; to make logical conclusions based upon their data; to answer or refine their investigative question and/or research plan; and to understand what the data indicate for their stream over time. In this unit, you will choose a local stream to study, and identify and work with partners who can support their students' project. The lessons may lead you and your class toward designing and implementing a stewardship project, but the main focus is on field research and engaging students in their environment through inquiry and student-driven projects. Students will research their watershed, design investigative questions, plan and conduct an investigation, and collect, analyze, interpret, and present data. These lessons focus on water quality and macroinvertebrate data, although StreamWebs offers options for collecting other data as well. These lessons will achieve cross-curricular connections in math, language arts, and science as students develop their data literacy. Lessons are aligned with the Next Generation Science Standards (NGSS): Each lesson will describe the corresponding Middle School (MS) Performance Expectation and Science and Engineering Practice(s) that connect to those lessons.--Page 1.
Download or read book Watershed Dynamics written by and published by National Science Teachers Assn. This book was released on 2004 with total page 175 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Whether you're a stream studies novice or a veteran aquatic monitor, Watershed Dynamics gives you abundant practical resources to extend your students' investigations into local water quality and land-use issues. This two-part set is ideal for teaching biological and ecological concepts and research techniques. It also shows how the interplay between scientific data and human judgement can shape public policy decisions on zoning, flood control, and agricultural practices. The Teacher Edition explains how to guide student research and engineering design projects. Classroom-ready materials include detailed background, sample assessment tasks and rubrics, and guidelines for integrating peer review into classroom science. The Teacher Editon also includes the complete Student Edition. Watershed Dynamics is the final volume in the four-part Cornell Scientific Inquiry series designed to guide students in designing and conducting experiments, presenting their results, and exchanging feedback with their peers. See the other titles in the series: Decay and Renewal, Assessing Toxic Risk, and Invasion Ecology.
