Watershed CSI Challenge

It’s Fun!
It’s a new nature-oriented Guiding Challenge!

Your assignment should you choose to accept it:
You will be Crime Scene Investigators and will gain skills to solve the case of: Healthy or Unhealthy Watershed? If you find that the watershed is unhealthy you will then take action to improve it. Case Closed!

During the challenge, you will play, explore, learn, be challenged and have fun!

All the tools are here to tackle this project in approximately 4 meetings. You don’t need to know everything about the topic. Help is available – see the resource page for some ideas.

Meeting 1: Gather the Clues
The challenge starts with a visit to a local waterbody (stream, lake, pond, or wetland) in the fall. You will “Gather the Clues” with a naturalist. Click here to access Ontario Nature website http://www.ontarionature.org/network/groups.html.

Meeting 2: Investigation Background Check
You and your Unit will learn about watersheds.

Meeting 3: Solve the Case!
Look at what goes into the water body and what could be done to improve it .

Meeting 4: Close the Case!

In the last meeting you will undertake a project in the spring to improve the watershed. All sorts of projects are appropriate for this. We are sure you’ll find one that fits your group!
