Students will observe a demonstration of the effects of changing a landscape on water flow and connect what they observe in the demo with the development of South Florida wetlands. They will then be introduced to the Comprehensive Everglades Restoration Plan (CERP) and assess the influence the government had on changes in the ecosystem and the lives of the South Florida population in this integrated lesson plan.
