The Prepared Practitioner: Groundwater—A Green Issue

The Science Teacher—February 2010

This issue’s theme—“Going Green”—relates to environmental education. In an article published in the Journal of Science Teacher Education, Dickerson and colleagues (2007) discuss issues related to the lack of groundwater education in school science classes.

This month's column offers a few strategies to incorporate this important environmental issue into the curriculum.
