Meaningful Watershed Educational Experiences (MWEEs)

What is an MWEE?

MWEE’s or Meaningful Watershed Educational Experiences are site-specific project-based learning experiences designed to get your students engaging with science concepts in real-life applications.

In the learner-centered MWEE process, students will:

• develop an issue definition they will use to determine the focus of the project
• participate in outdoor field experiences where they will get to see these science concepts in action and gather data
• synthesize and conclude their own learning by sharing their findings with others
• conduct an environmental action project that directly addresses the issue they identified

What makes the MWEE process different? 

Each MWEE is unique and can be designed to cover cross-curricular Ohio State Standards at any grade level. The CSWCD education team can also help design MWEE Projects that align with Scouts or other curriculum requirements.
