Alberta Students Tops In Science

Tests, tests and more tests! This is starting to test my patience!

A 1999 Nationwide Science Assessment by Canadian Ministers of Education showed that Alberta students outperformed all of their peers across Canada! This successful showing by Alberta students has been partly attributed to the hands-on and active nature of science education in this province.

Achievement Test Results

Over the years of offering RiverWatch, we've had teachers tell us that their grade nine students scored 10-15% higher than average on Alberta Provincial Achievement Tests on questions related to "Environmental Quality". That's very good news!

Involved Students

Here at RiverWatch, we'd like to think that we've played a role in helping Alberta students become so successful in science! We're convinced that hands-on and relevant experiences in the real world help build a science program that engages students in meaningful inquiry. Involved students can go on to become successful students, sought-after employees, valued citizens and responsible stewards of the environment.
