Conduct this session in the classroom.

1. Read On the Way to the Chesapeake Bay: The Journey of a Raindrop (.pdf only) together.
   
2. After reading, return to each page and discuss what the raindrop might "pick up" and carry with it from each stop on its journey. Draw a large raindrop on the chalkboard or chart paper. As students list what is picked up, write each item on the raindrop. Students may also draw these items on their copies of the story or draw on each page a raindrop with the items it has gathered.
   
3. Discuss which of the items on the raindrop could cause harm to the water quality of the Bay.
