Downstream/Upstream Project Video

Description

Jonee Kulman Brigham began a journey with 39 children (ages 4 to 6) from their school in Little Canada, MN through the urban water cycle: following the water infrastructure that connects the Mississippi River to their sink. The students' two week field-based unit included a visit to the water treatment plant, mapping how the water travels from the treatment plant to their sink, learning from public works staff where their school's toilet and sink water goes, taking a boat trip on the Mississippi River--where their water ultimately ends up after they've used it--and learning about the wildlife that calls the river home and their dependence on clean water.
