H 0 iQ for Educators
2
We designed this resource to fully explore water and the Lake Winnipeg watershed issues while meeting curriculum objectives. It provides educators with easy-to-understand information, tools, and resources.
​
H2O iQ is adaptable to any freshwater lake, as Lake Winnipeg is not the only one with water issues.
​
To truly protect our fresh waters, we must encourage kids to learn, understand, and appreciate the wonders and vulnerability of watersheds in general.
