Get water education into your classroom

There is a lot to learn about water and how it gets to your tap. Discover educational resources and opportunities for students, teachers, and your community in our Education Hub.

A Water Hero uses water carefully and drinks enough water so their mind is alert and their body is always ready for exercise! Help your students become Water Heroes at home and school with our free resources, or by inviting us in to deliver an incursion.

We’ll need a bit of space for this one, as we roll out a river, build a reservoir and a water treatment plant, before running some water pipes to homes, businesses and schools. We’ll also read a beautiful story about a water drop, see how water changes states (but never disappears!), and even do a bit of acting (who can act out a melting ice cube?). All the resources for this lesson can be found here.

What happens to the things we flush down the toilet? In Flushed! students will see and interact with (almost) all aspects of the sewage system – the unsung hero of infrastructure. We learn about what we did in the past and what we do now to treat our wastewater. All the resources for this lesson can be found here.

With a focus on sustainability, students will learn about the role we all play in protecting the environment and conserving water. This lesson gives an overview of the urban water cycle and will challenge students to reflect on the responsibility we have for future generations. All the resources for this lesson can be found here.

This lesson will ask students to consider: does water disappear? Is there ever new water? With a range of fun and engaging activities, students will build an understanding of the processes of the natural water cycle. All the resources for this lesson can be found here.

Why does your body need water? And what happens when it doesn’t get enough? This lesson helps students learn the importance of water to their health and wellbeing. It also prompts them to take action to reduce their intake of sugary drinks with the Hydration Challenge! All the resources for this lesson can be found here.
