Because every child needs connection with the wonders of water
About the Water Teachers Initiative
For over 20 years, Freshwaters Illustrated has been producing immersive educational films that explore the biodiversity, science, and conservation of freshwater ecosystems. In 2023, we launched the Water Teachers Initiative to make these films more accessible and impactful for K-12 educators.
Through the Water Teachers Initiative, K-12 educators can sign up for instant, free access to our entire film catalog, which includes educator pages, activities, links, photos, and more. With over 50 short and feature films, each aligned with key NGSS standards, educators can easily integrate these resources into their lesson plans. You can also explore sample pages to get a feel for our unique educational content.
For college-level educators or those outside the K-12 system, paid memberships and institutional subscriptions are available through the Freshwaters Illustrated website, offering access to our full suite of films and teaching resources.
Sample Lessons
