<br />. <br /> <br />. <br /> <br />6. INNOVATIVE FEATURES/ANTICIPATED BENEATS: <br />The public education campaign will present the many water savings <br />techniques and develop materials which will be especially important for <br />other areas in Colorado which are like Woodmoor and the Tri-Lakes region. <br />Our residential character, foothill climate, and wooded and prairie <br />environment is like many communities on both the west and east slope of the <br />Colorado Rockies. The brochures and folders will be easily useable by other <br />Colorado communities that are similar. In addition, the presentations and <br />workshops that will be developed will also be of use to these other <br />communities. <br />The development of a curriculum that is dispursed throughout three <br />years of school is especially original. Most school curriculums do not <br />include water conservation as a part of their curriculum and when this <br />topic is included it is presented in a single block which may last one day <br />to a week. When included it is treated in a cursuary fashion and in a <br />lecture format. The proposed curriculum will be integrated into the primary <br />topic that is being taught and will thereby become more real and related to <br />each of the children's activities. Children learn when they participate, <br />are active. and have fun. The planned curriculum will include all of these <br />by the use of hands-on field investigations, visits to water treatment and <br />waste water facilities, the collection and analysis of data through the use <br />of computers, and a long-term approach over several years of the student's <br />education. <br />As has been stated previously, the Lewis Palmer School District is <br />presently in the process of building a new Middle School where the students <br />will have the opportunity to learn at a modern facility and the teachers <br />will be team teaching and integrating the various academic subjects. Yater <br />conservation will play an important part in the integration of the <br />developed curriculum; not only in science, as would normally be the case, <br />but by being integrated into math, writting. geography, and history. <br /> <br />7.
