RAIL Project K-12 Curriculum (lessons, worksheet guides, etc.)

Attached are some files to the RAIL Project so that it could be implemented into a K-12 curriculum.

The first file is a student guide through the math component of how to calculate each ecosystem attribute.

The second file is a student guide for writing their final RAIL Report.

The third file is the entire RAIL Project. The option B portion of it is an addition so to use the aquatic macroinvertebrates as indicators of water quality index scores. The portion of using macroinvertebrates to identify ecosystem attributes is found just prior to Option B.
