Getting Stormwater Science Into the Classroom
Fairfax County, Virginia is a 400-square-mile locality within the Washington D.C. metro area that is home to more than 1.1 million residents. As the County continued to develop, the condition of streams and aquatic life declined. Today, the Stormwater Management Division is leading the region in protecting and restoring our local watersheds through improved regulations, and structural and non-structural stormwater enhancements. Stormwater Management staff have formed a strong partnership with the Fairfax County Public School system to educate the next generation of student scientists who understand their role in keeping our streams and watersheds healthy. Over the last several years, staff have worked with teachers, students and curriculum writers to develop a series of County-specific education and outreach tools such the Stormy the Raindrop education campaign, the Fairfax County Field Guide to Plants and Animals, Meaningful Watershed Education Experience field trips, Sewer Science, Stream Crime Investigation labs and the Citizen Scientist Floatable Monitoring Program. Each of these tools provide real world connections to the Virginia Standards of Learning through experiential and hands-on teaching moments.
