This case study explores the environmental effects associated with the production, consumption, and recycling related to bottled water. Students learn about state and federal regulations associated with the extraction of ground water and its potential impact on the environment, identify potential safety hazards with drinking water, and become aware of the economic and ecological costs of drinking water that has been bottled. pdboyer Sat, 24 Apr 2010 15:24:58 GMT http://ocean.si.edu/for-educators/ Welcome to the Educators' Corner The ocean provides the air we breathe, food we eat, and water we drink. Just as we need the ocean, the ocean needs each one of us. Our Ocean Portal Educators’ Corner provides you with activities, lessons and educational resources to bring the ocean to life for your students. We have collected top resources from our collaborators to provide you with teacher-tested, ocean science materials for your classroom. We hope these resources, along with the rich experience of the Ocean Portal, will help you inspire the next generation of ocean stewards. Help us make this site better!
