Your Experience

In this program, students explore the science of watersheds. In the lab, students learn scientific techniques as they perform a fish dissection, conduct water chemistry tests, and discover potential sources of pollution. In addition, students will learn about the hydrologic cycle and what lives in a watershed. A hands-on demonstration with a model of a watershed teaches how humans impact our fragile environment. The program drives home why everyone needs to understand how we all affect our local watersheds.
