“These activities are also cross-curricular and help teachers reinforce reading and math skills in the content areas of science, health, communication arts and social studies.”

“I have had the opportunity to experience Project WET’s activities first-hand and am impressed that the lessons enforce education for the whole child, incorporating a variety of formats such as large and small group learning, whole-body activities, laboratory investigations, discussion of local and global topics and community-service projects.”

“In Montana and the arid West where water quality and quantity issues make headlines every week, we have an increasing responsibility to make sure children and adults in our communities develop the skills they need to be better stewards of this precious resource. Whether our goal is to improve reading skills or public health, whether the subject is the water cycle or how our bodies respond to water pollution, we know that starting early and finding a way to reinforce essential information throughout the years will help assure a more 'watershed literate' citizenry.”

“It’s easy to conserve water, and I have encouraged my neighbors with ideas from Project WET. I’ve changed the way and time I water my yard, my shower time limit and the way I brush my teeth!”

“On the days I use lessons from Project WET, my classroom becomes alive with curiosity and discovery. These are the days I experience the most joy as a teacher.”

“My students encouraged others around the school to become more involved with conserving water and other natural resources.”

“My student’s father told me that his son now says things like, ‘Don’t water the sidewalk, Dad.'”

“My students have become the biggest water cops. They police everyone at school and at home.”

“I never liked teaching science until after having gone to the training workshop. The textbook only approach was dull for me, and the kids weren’t engaged. This training and guide have made a big difference to them and to me.”

“The Healthy Water, Healthy People materials contain the best explanation of pH that I have ever heard. It is such a difficult concept.”

“The Healthy Water, Healthy People Educators Guide is the most innovative guide I have come across in twenty years at DNR! A group of teachers at a workshop I hosted loved it as well!”

“The Project WET Kids in Discovery series (KIDs) booklets are colorful and kid interesting with educational facts hidden among fun and interactive puzzles, challenging board games, role playing, experiments and mazes. Kids have so much fun that they don’t even know they’re doing math, science, social studies, reading and learning about other cultures. These booklets certainly make the grade.”

“Water is essential to human life — for basic health and survival, as well as for food production and industry. We lived thousands of years without oil — but we can’t live a day without water. Yet, today, water is a threatened resource. At Nestlé Waters, we have made a commitment to reach out to others to collaborate on water conservation and access, focusing particularly on women and children. As part of our outreach, we have pledged our support to Project WET’s efforts — reaching children, educators, and communities of the world with water education — because of its global impact and proven effectiveness. Because reserving and expanding access to clean water is a challenge that no individual company, organization or government can solve in an isolated manner, Nestlé Waters and Project WET are working to make a difference - together.”

“Outreach is one of the most important, yet underrated, opportunities in science. I believe Project WET activities have helped stimulate children’s interest in science while providing an hour of fun every week for both the adult volunteers and the children. Helping children become interested in science while still having fun is the highest aspiration for an elementary outreach program. If you do these two things, you are succeeding. I think we are succeeding with Project WET.”

“Water is life, and one hope in putting a stop to the destruction of this life source is education. Project WET could not have come at a more appropriate time in the Philippines. Today, more than ever, our people need to be made aware of our water situation. Project WET has been an effective tool in educating children and adults on water-related environmental concerns. It offers a number of possible solutions provided by participants of Project WET activities. Through the program, the Center for Environmental Awareness and Education (CEAE) has achieved what no other programs have: a chance to teach our people HOW to think and not just WHAT to think.”

“Project WET’s visionary initiative to help children gain an understanding of water and sanitation issues at an early age will go a long way in shaping future world leaders and water managers”
