Scottish Water Generation H₂O

Scottish Water Generation H₂O is a new nationwide campaign that will empower every young person in Scotland to take positive action to protect Scotland’s water. Water is one of Scotland’s most precious resources and we all need to be part of protecting it.

Find out more here.

Mission H₂O is a fun, hands-on challenge for learners aged 5-11 (P1-P7). The mission kicks off with a whole-school assembly before learners embark on a series of water-themed challenges to deliver at home and in school. The mission ends with a prize award and celebration.

Our primary resources are available to download following registration and are all linked to the Curriculum for Excellence objectives across: Sciences, Social Studies, Technologies, and Health and Wellbeing.

This challenge offers a whole-school approach to sustainability that can support you to complete the Water topic in your Eco Schools Award, as well as the whole school audit.

Free downloadable resources include:

• Mission H₂O Assembly Launch – a full presentation with engaging video content with everything you need to set the mission.
• Mission H₂O Teachers’ Guide – includes an explanation on how your school can take part in the Mission H₂O challenges and additional classroom STEM related water activities.
• Mission H₂O Water Challenges and Scorecard – a worksheet with simple challenges for learners in and outside of school and a page to keep track of the total for the prize entry.
• Prize Submission Form – to enter your class/school to win a prize for completing the most water challenges.

Mission H₂O Prizes

The class to complete the greatest number of Mission H₂O challenges within their school will win seed packets (for the first 50 schools to register). The Top 5 schools across Scotland will each win a water butt as well. T&Cs are available here.

Watch out for more Generation H₂O resources for primary and secondary schools coming later in the Autumn term…
