Every drop finds its way to a river and from there to the sea
The project connected pupils with the Keila River running through the schoolyard and its wider link to the Baltic Sea. Students used new fieldwork and laboratory equipment, carried out outdoor lessons, recorded river biodiversity, visited the coast, created invertebrate door signs, built a biodiversity webpage and installed a permanent exhibition at the local Environmental Education Centre.
Aim
The project aimed to deepen understanding of freshwater biodiversity and the connection between local rivers and the Baltic Sea. It sought to strengthen practical science teaching through repeated outdoor and laboratory work, while creating resources that could be reused by the school and regional teachers. A long-term aim was to integrate freshwater monitoring into the curriculum and encourage local stewardship of river ecosystems.
