What this means

This is the Water Research Commission's education web page on water lesson plans. It explains that the WRC and Share-Net, a project of the Wildlife and Environment Society of South Africa, developed a series of water lesson plan packs from Grade R to Grade 10, linked to the South African National Curriculum, with five lessons per pack and an assessment rubric for each lesson. The page also lists two downloadable files - a basic guide to school food gardens and a South African water compendium - and gives the WRC's Tshwane address and phone number.
