Water is such a crucial element to our way of life and everything we do. No matter where we are on earth, water has a major impact and role. It was my desire to have our students think about their local water and connect that with water on a global level.
I am so excited to announce that we had entered a contest, competing with entries across the world, to be a part of the World Water Monitoring Challenge–AND WE WON! With this win, we will be provided with 5 full water monitoring test kits (among other opportunities) for students to become field scientists (as soon as the ice breaks up).

Michelle, I am humbled by what a dynamo you are! Good job getting out there are bringing such important issues to your students! This is awesome!
Congratulations on winning the kits! I’d love to hear about the data you collected. Are you going to continue this project next school year?
Yes, I have a few more kits! I want to explore different water locations. I may do a Biking Water Conservation club in the fall, where students can bike to different locations to perform the tasks.
Congratulations on the Win! That is the second time I have seen Philippe Cousteau’s name in something I read or watched. My sixth graders were watching a video about the garbage patches in the Pacific.
Congratulations on winning the test kits! I am hoping to get test kits for students at Mears Middle School next year.
My 4th grade class recently collected the same types of data that many stream monitoring programs focus on. Great experience for the kids, and hopeful for maintaining water quality!
My 4th grade class recently collected information on a stream in our watershed. We were collecting the same types of data that most stream monitoring programs focus on. Great for water quality and great for students interested in science!
Wow! Congratulations! I am very curious to know where you decided to use the monitoring test kits and what results you found here in Alaska!
