LC Water Wetlands Algemeen

Hi, we are 14 students of the Corlaer College in Nijkerk, The Netherlands and we are participating in the Expedition Corlaer project and we have made an amazing study visit to Canada.

Our project Water & Wetlands.
Expedition Corlaer is a project focussed on students developing their talents, individually and in a group. In this, 3 year during project, students may work at a self chosen social international issue.
Our team, team 4 green, is concerned about nature, the up-warming of earth and the reducing of the ice which has consequences for the water level.

Wetlands
That’s why our project  is about wetlands. We are anxious to learn about the flora and the fauna and we hope to discover more information about water level and pollution.
This knowledge we want to share. We want to teach students from grade 5 and 6 of the primary school more about wetlands and the milieu. The more people know, the more we can do about changing our way of life that’s not good for our environment.
During this project we want to compare a few of wetlands, so we can see the different in temperature , high differences, clearness. etc.
Maybe we can learn more about changes in weather, water and fauna and flora. We’re going to write 10 lessons to learn about the nature and wetlands. These lessons can be used in primary school in the Netherlands and other countries, because we will write the lessons  in English too. Hopefully are students in Canada willing to help us.
We are planning  to put these lessons online. If it is possible we will put  webcams in the wetlands (in the Netherlands and Canada) , so everybody on line has the possibility  to see on line how the animals and plants live and develop.

Learning circle
To write our lessons we need all kinds of information on wetlands. Of course we search on the Internet for information, we visit a wetland in the neighbourhood, but it is more interesting to learn together with other students all over the world. 
So we’re still looking for more information, we hope you can help us. (It doesn’t matter which homeland, county, school or anything you are coming from)
If you can help us, please sign in and join the Water Wetlands Circle
