Living River Online

 

This online program helps kids understand how organisms live within an ecosystem. Three interactive stations feature exciting videos and fun learning modules about floodplains, mussels, pike, and their connection to the Mississippi River! The course explores different ways to look at the river to determine its vitality.

The program also offers a fun literacy component: the River Poetry Challenge! Students can use their newfound vocabulary words to write a poem related to each module’s themes. The top ten entries will be showcased on the website!

Students will be inspired to explore and begin at multiple starting points, and teachers can supplement each module with their own lesson plans, using the program to enhance their curriculum designs.

Teachers can supplement each topic with their own lesson plans, using the program to enhance their curriculum designs however they see fit. A robust resource section also supports teachers in adding further content to their lesson plans.
