We are inviting school communities to get involved in our new wastewater resources within The Ripple Effect.
Through a range of films, experiments, interactive games, and activities for 11 to 14-year-olds, The Ripple Effect encourages everyone to learn more about wastewater and make small changes to protect our network, our customers, and our environment.
The teacher guidance below will guide you through each activity and the curriculum links, to help you get the most out of our resources.
Also below, is the 'Wastewater campaign challenge' - all about the wastewater network, create your own awareness campaign to raise awareness of wastewater issues in your home, school, or wider community.
