 * Engage || [[file:Civil4_Engage.docx|Pollution on Rivers Videos]] || Two videos that lead into the discussion about the human impact on water quality. Video 1 focuses on the pollution from heavily populated areas surrounding the Rhine River. The 2nd video looks at the 2011 flood on the Mississippi River. This video opens up discussions on dams, flood plains, and silt removal. ||
 * Explore || [[file:Civil4_Explore.docx|Teacher Notes]] || Students will work as engineers developing a community around Lake Slippery. They will have to place houses, industrial buildings, and other parts of a community around the lake taking into consideration the flow of water. ||
 * Explain || [[file:Civil4_Explain.ppt|Water Quality PPT]] || The PowerPoint explains the amount of water available for use worldwide along with both human and environmental aspects that determine water quality. It uses the Columbia River in Washington State as an example. ||
 * Elaborate || [[file:Civil4_Elaborate Teacher Notes.docx|Teacher Notes]]
 * Evaluate || [[file:Civil4_Evaluate.docx|Assessment Handout]] || Evaluation for recognizing, understanding, and potentially solving common water problems. ||
