Educational Resources

Learning about water – where it comes from, how it is treated and how we can protect it - is an important part of a child’s education.

Teachers - We hope that these resources will make it easier for you to teach these important lessons, whether you are a teacher or parent. Your students will also enjoy visiting Water World for more fun activities.

Kids - We are so excited you want to learn more about water! You have come to the right place – we have stories, games, activities and more. Just click on the links below to enter Water World – just be careful you don’t get splashed!
