Fix a Leak Week Learning Resources

The Fix a Leak Week learning resources are a set of activities designed for students in grades 3 through 5 to help them learn about water supplies and the importance of saving water. In addition to helping families find and fix leaks in their homes, the Fix a Leak Week curriculum covers a range of subjects (reading, science, math, social studies), and lessons were developed to ensure this work can help meet relevant standards in the various curriculum areas. It can be adapted to different grade levels and class abilities.
