Los estudiantes usan un mapa topográfico para explorar el concepto de vertiente y luego aplican sus conocimientos a vigilar su situación. Los estudiantes descubrirán el valor diferente de un conjunto de datos individuales obtenidos en la vertiente en un lugar y momento dados, en comparación a una serie de conjuntos de datos sobre la calidad del agua, recogidos en diferentes lugares de la vertiente a lo largo del tiempo.

Philippe Cousteau and the EarthEcho team explored the second largest and fastest growing city in Australia connecting with stakeholders, city planners, and citizen scientists in Melbourne during October 2018. Alongside 25 Expedition Fellows (teachers from Australia and the United States), Philippe learned more about how actions in the city can have dramatic consequences in the deep blue. We worked with local researchers and policymakers to examine the various sources of land‐based plastic pollution that has resulted in the waters of the iconic Port Philip Bay being recently described as plastic soup.

Students use a topographic map to explore the concept of a watershed and then apply that knowledge to watershed monitoring. Students will discern the difference in value between an individual data set collected at one place and time on a watershed versus a series of water quality data sets collected at various points along a watershed over time.

The OurEcho Challenge is a STEM competition that empowers U.S. middle school students (grades 5 - 9) to take a closer look at biodiversity in their communities. Students will first identify threats to local ecosystems and then propose solutions to help preserve, protect, or repair those natural resources. To support youth in looking at the world around them with a critical and innovative eye, we have provided standards-aligned educational resources to help support biodiversity education in both formal and informal learning environments as we set out to preserve, protect, and repair natural resources in our own backyards.
