Water in Arizona Workshop
An Aqua STEM Professional Development Workshop
Explore Arizona's water resources with real world, hands-on learning, while using phenomenon to activate the 3-Dimensions of science instruction!
Join our Aqua STEM professional development workshops to learn how to engage your students with our ready-made science and engineering units, helping them become builders of their own knowledge. All Aqua STEM units are designed to accommodate students in 6th-12th grade levels, and to fully or partially meet multiple Arizona Science Standards.
We've recently redesigned the full Aqua STEM units and shortened them to four core lessons to support your busy schedule. Now it's easier than ever to integrate high quality instruction focused on Arizona's water systems. All Aqua STEM units are based upon a simple systems thinking framework that will deepen student thinking and enhance comprehension.

Access a ready-made, real-world, and locally relevant water exploration unit that integrates systems thinking and engineering design principles. The WAZ unit activates multiple Arizona Science Standards by employing Science and Engineering Practices and Cross Cutting Concepts. In this unit, students will discover the unique aspects of Arizona's hydrologic cycle, learn about our state’s water supplies and our water resource challenges. As a culmination to the unit, they will investigate how their personal decisions impact water availability for everyone.
