Our self-paced lessons offer a fun, engaging way to teach your students about the Elizabeth River. Your students will learn about the river’s history and challenges, and ways they can become good river stewards.
You’ll discover fun ways to talk about estuaries and watersheds, polluted stormwater runoff and even learn how to use your schoolyard as a classroom. Resources include an Elizabeth River map for your classroom and a team of Elizabeth River Project educators ready to answer questions and help in any way we can.
Project Blue Crab is a great way for young students to learn about our famous local crabs and the watermen who rely on it for their income. These self-paced virtual lessons and art projects help kids become lifelong river stewards. They’ll learn how pollution and sea-level rise affect their communities, themselves and the blue crab, along with things they can do to help. Don’t worry, our team of educators is always here to help you with training and resources, along with “science buckets” that supply everything from artifacts to maps. And your class is sure to enjoy our video series featuring the Dominion Energy Learning Barge, renewable energy, aquatic animals, native plants, the value of wetlands, water quality testing and more!
Our free online database is filled with hundreds of documents, videos, photographs, studies, news articles and more. Now, you can explore the river from any device, anytime!
