This resource is a YouTube playlist with videos to accompany the Camp C.O.R.E. graphic novel from the Modern Water Cycle collection by BYU and the USGS. The novel takes students through a scientific adventure in ecosystem science and includes chapters about the water cycle, biodiversity, pollution, permafrost, and climate change. Humans are a critical part of the global ecosystem and impact many aspects of it through our lifestyles. Each chapter covers an area where recent research has highlighted our influence and potential consequences of the status quo. We wrote this novel as a fun way to introduce this information to a younger audience in a more friendly format. The videos are another way to access the content of the novel. To download a copy of the novel itself, search “Camp C.O.R.E. graphic novel” in eMedia or visit the BYU Modern Water Cycle website.

This resource includes posters and images from the Modern Water Cycle collection by BYU and the USGS. The resources highlight the different ways humans influence how water moves. Each image highlights direct human links to the water cycle. Blue Water deals with human water movement. Green Water highlights water that is moved through plants and agriculture including livestock. Gray Water is used to dissolve pollutants and often involves water quality issues or excessive heat.

This resource includes posters and images from the Modern Water Cycle collection by BYU and the USGS. The resources are visual definitions of common water cycle terms. The water cycle introduces a lot of new terms for young students. Many teachers focus tightly on these phrases and what they mean physically for the water (e.g. Evaporation: liquid water to water vapor). We also include a variety of places where those changes occur.

This resource includes posters and images from the Modern Water Cycle collection by BYU and the USGS. The resources emphasize the two-way connection between humans and water.
