What is Explore More?
Explore More is an Iowa Public Television educational resource for
students to investigate four issues important to all Iowans: water
quality, genetic engineering, sustainable environments, and the future of
energy. Videos, Web sites, ICN events, and teacher resources combine to
make this an engaging experience for your middle school or high school
classroom.
Project WET Teachers, use this page to select Project WET activities to implement with each segment of the Explore More Water Quality Video. Visit the Explore More Water Quality website for more information about the video, in-depth content, student analysis of issues, video clips and transcripts from stakeholders and experts, career connections, webquests, discussion questions, links, a calendar of events and more.
Are you interested in using Project WET with Explore More but don't have a Project WET Activity and Curriculum Guide? Contact Marcy Seavey, IAS Program Director, for information on how you can attend a Project WET Workshop.
