| Prehistoric water use |
Chris McPhee (IGERT Trainee) |
In order to key into the nature of their own water use, this powerpoint presentation
introduces students to prehistoric water use in Arizona. It provides a frame of reference for comparing modern water
use practices with those employed by past cultures in the same region (Arizona). Originally, this presentation was
combined with a hands-on lab highlighting the labor intensive nature of harvesting water in arid landscapes. The 9th
grade students were challenged to 'put themselves in the footsteps of prehistic people' by testing the various forms
of water harvesting technology through the use and testing of 3-dimensional landscape models that mirrored water flow.
