Project WET Training

project wet

Educator training for the Project WET Curriculum and Activity Guide 2.0 occurs throughout Michigan. A network of facilitators from a variety of organizations has been trained to deliver the six-hour training workshops. The Project Wet Curriculum and Activity Guide 2.0 is a collection of innovative, interdisciplinary activities that are hands-on, easy to use, and fun. Designed and committed to state, provincial, and national educational standards,

The Project WET Foundation publishes children’s activity booklets, children’s story books, educators’ guides, maps and posters that teach a variety of critical water topics through hands-on, science-based activities.  Project WET activities cover diverse topics and disciplines. The Project WET 2.0 Guide is only available at trainings. In other words, when you get trained, you will receive the guide. Unlike other Project WET Foundation publications, the guide cannot be purchased separately. 

Project Wet Curriculum and Activity Guide 2.0

If you have been trained in Project WET and want to obtain the 2.0 guide, national Project WET has a re-training webinars available. In-person training can be arranged as well. At the training workshops, participants learn about Project WET, practice activities from the Guide, discuss curriculum connections, and review online resources such as the Project WET Portal, where curriculum alignments are found.

Main themes in the Project WET Curriculum and Activity Guide include:

  • Water has unique chemical and physical characteristics
  • Water is essential for all life to exist.
  • Water connects all earth systems.
  • Water is a natural resource.
  • Water resources are managed.
  • Water resources exist in social and cultural constructs.

Numerous interdisciplinary activities for elementary, middle, and high school students address these themes. The Project WET curriculum correlations are found online at https://www.projectwet.org/standards.
