The Potomac Highlands Watershed School PHWS Projects 2013 Musselman High School, WV |
Musselman High School- Inwood, WV April 2013 At the beginning of March, 4 members of the W.E.T Club (Watershed Environmental Team) visited nearby schools Mill Creek Intermediate School and Mountain Ridge Intermediate School to provide the 5 grade classes with an educational outreach. The high school students used Cacapon Institute’s Potomac Highlands Watershed School (eSchool) to educate the 5 graders about watersheds and non-point source pollution. The high school students provided a hands-on learning of non-point source pollution used an enviroscape. An enviroscape depicts how pollutants from urban and agricultural sources travel downhill over the land and end in water systems. By understanding sources of pollution and various forms students began to understand how every person has an impact river health. The 5th grade students would be well prepared for the rain garden installations that would take place at the schools later in April. |
