SummaryThis curriculum was originally created by the Gowanus Canal Conservancy and the Urban Memory Project then adapted to its current form by the Newtown Creek Alliance for teachers to use the Newtown Creek and its watershed and sewershed as a teaching tool and learning environment. The lessons were reviewed and tested with assistance from the National Wildlife Federation Eco-Schools during the 2018 - 2019 school year in four local public schools in Greenpoint — P.S. 110, P.S. 34, P.S. 31, and M.S. 126. The lessons, maps, and worksheets are available to any teacher who wishes to engage their students with the Creek’s complex and fascinating urban ecology. With tables, maps and photographs.
