Protocol Overview and Instructions: 
​
We can up with interview questions and created a google form to ask 3rd, 4th and 5th graders what they like to do in Michigan’s bodies of water. Students also wanted to know how kids stay safe in the water to see if their solution should involve safety.

​

Educator Thoughts:
​
“The students got a wide variety of water activities in a short about of time.  This might help spark another idea of their own.”
