Take pictures with a digital camera (or scan 35mm photos) to make your school’s own version of Journey of a Raindrop to the Bay multimedia presentation or picture book. Photos of the larger rivers can usually be found on the Internet by doing a search for the river’s name or using picsearch.com on the Internet. At home, look around the yard to see where water would go. Make a list to create a personal watershed address. Use the rough sketch map of the schoolyard to create a more detailed topographic map of the same area. Read more about rivers, lakes, and other water bodies that water flows through on its way to the Chesapeake Bay in The River, Down a River, or Rivers and Lakes (see Resources). Use a Virginia map and a copy of the W.A.V.E. Virginia’s Chesapeake Bay Watersheds map to determine which river rainwater would flow into from these locations: Richmond, Fredericksburg, Waynesboro, Lake Anna, Arlington, Lexington, Winchester, Bowling Green, and Culpeper. See Building an Outdoor Classroom in the Project Action Guide.
