Scottish Water Generation H₂O – Secondary

Welcome to Scottish Water Generation H₂O – a new education campaign empowering young people to take action and protect one of Scotland’s most precious resources: water.

Register now to download Pitch for the Planet, our free educational resource for learners aged 12-14 (S1-S3). These fully resourced, interactive lessons explore the challenges of the global water supply while supporting the Curriculum for Excellence Experiences and Outcomes across Social Subjects, Literacy, Numeracy, and Health and Wellbeing.

Pitch for the Planet

Pitch for the Planet is a set of engaging educational resources that challenge secondary learners to consider global issues in water supply before pitching their solution to problems that Scotland’s water faces during the Water Summit Challenge.

Young people care about the environment and these fun, interactive lessons tap into that by helping them understand the value of water and why we should protect it.

Free downloadable resources include:

• Teachers’ Guide – comprehensive, easy-to-use lesson instructions and guidance on how these lessons engage learners through Curriculum for Excellence.
• Enquiry Trails – help your learners understand how Scotland faces issues or ‘too much’ or ‘too little’ water with these interactive PDFs.
• Lesson PowerPoints – Ready-to-go lesson presentations with notes to help you deliver each activity.
• Activity and Homework Sheets – see how well your learners understand our connection to water and sustainability with these fun worksheets.
• Water Summit Challenge Cards and Presentation Template – a series of real-world challenges for learners to solve before pitching their solutions to a panel of teachers.
