Project WET &
Explore More: Water Quality



What is Explore More?

Explore More is Iowa Public Television's latest educational resource for students to investigate four issues important to all Iowans: water quality, genetic engineering, sustainable environments, and the future of energy. Videos, Web sites, ICN events, and teacher resources combine to make this an engaging experience for your middle school or high school classroom.

Project WET Teachers, use this page to select Project WET activities to implement with each segment of the Explore More Water Quality Video. Visit the Explore More Water Quality website for more information about the video, in-depth content, student analysis of issues, video clips and transcripts from stakeholders and experts, career connections, webquests, discussion questions, links, a calendar of events and more.
