Teacher Resources

RiverQuest conducts Act 48-eligible teacher workshops several times a year, in conjunction with our school programs, as well as separate "stand alone" workshops conducted with partner organizations and sponsored by agencies including PA DEP and US EPA.

One product of these workshops is a collection of classroom teacher-developed lesson plans and Field Trip Action Plans that we are making available to you through this web page. Click on the links found below the sponsor listings to access PDF files that can serve as a springboard to your own lesson plan development, or your own Field Trip Action plan to submit to your administration or funder!
