Arizona Project WET- Paying it Forward

Copper King's Water Academy students wanted to engage 4th and 5th graders in learning water concepts. These 7th and 8th grade students learned how difficult it is to balance inquiry, exploration, and discovery with structure and discipline when teaching. Mason said, "We've grown a new respect for teachers and instructors for what they do" and Jayde added, "It makes us look at things from a different perspective." Even so, using Arizona Project WET's successful water festival model, these Pendergast Elementary School District teens made a difference in younger students' lives. Fourth grade student Miles said, "I loved everything. The best field trip ever!" and Trevor emphasized in all caps, "IT WAS AWSOME!"
