Packets and Activities for Students and Teachers
This page contains free downloads of educational packets and activities for students and teachers. To order printed copies, use the order form on the DEMLR Publications page. *Some of the physical copies may be different versions, but are still relevant, as we work on clearing inventory*
We are available to come to your classroom or non-formal education center, with or without the Enviroscape, to teach about erosion, sedimentation, and water pollution. Just email us to inquire!
If you'd like us to work with you to customize/create an activity, present/answer student questions in a virtual session or during your erosion & sedimentation school module, etc. Just email us to inquire!
Distance Learning Resources
Many of the Erosion and Sediment education resources are already available in at least one digital format here on this page. If you would like any of these resouces in an alternative format that would integrate with your online teaching platform better, just email us to inquire about them. Teachers can also access free online resources from other DEQ sections, including geology, air quality, and water quality, that are specifically designed for distance learning. Learn more at https://deq.nc.gov/outreach-education/distance-learning.
