Resources and ideas

We have lots of exciting projects and learning materials for pupils to find out about water.

Lesson plans
Our lesson plans include wising up to water, learning about drought and why water matters. We also have videos on why drinking water is important and how drinking water and sewage is treated.
We recommend visiting the Thames Tideway Tunnel website. It offers loads of great presentations, teachers’ notes, and student packs. These are ideal for primary and secondary schools and further education students. For career-related information for teachers, students and their families, visit the Developing Experts website.
