The centerpiece of Project WET is the Project WET Curriculum and Activity Guide 2.0, published in 2011.
This full-color, fully revised 592-page guide contains 64 multidisciplinary water-related activities for students from Kindergarten through 12th grade. The guide features cross-reference and planning charts, a glossary and background material on activity development and field testing.
The cornerstone of Project WET is its methodology of teaching about water resources through hands-on, investigative, easy-to-use activities.

This 200-page activity guide for educators of students in grades six through university level raises the awareness and understanding of water quality issues and their relationship to personal, public and environmental health. Healthy Water Healthy People Water Quality Educators Guide will help educators address science standards through 25 original, interactive activities that link priority water quality topics to real-life experiences of educators and students.
This award-winning Conserve Water Guide provides teachers of middle school and high school students with a comprehensive overview of water conservation, along with background information that serves as a hydrologic primer. Past, present, and future water conservation issues are also covered, which are illustrated by case studies ranging from a rancher in west Texas to an ice cream factory in Massachusetts. By using real-life examples, students are encouraged to use critical thinking skills to examine different sides of each situation.
With 70 pages of background material followed by more than 40 cross-referenced activities, this Wonders of Wetlands Guide is a valuable resource for K-12 teachers. Every page is thoughtfully laid out with informative text, stunning photography, along with easy-to-read sidebars, maps and illustrations. Activities are neatly organized into five sections: wetlands definitions, wetlands plants and animals, water quality and supply issues, soils and people. The appendix also provides instructions for planning and developing a schoolyard wetland habitat.
This Discover a Watershed Guide contains 19 science-based, multidisciplinary activities that teach what a watershed is, how it works and why we must all consider ourselves watershed managers. An extensive background section introduces readers to fundamental watershed concepts. Each activity adapts to local watersheds, contains e-links for further Internet research and is correlated to national science standards.
