Brief Description:
Invite a certified teacher to your classroom or science fair for an interactive water-based presentation provided free of charge to local schools and community groups. 2 different presentations available

Watershed Model - Students will apply mock pollutants and rain to our bas-relief model. They will learn how land uses affect the health of local water bodies. Concepts of pollution cleanup and environmental restoration will be introduced.

Water Cycle - Students will learn the cycle of evaporation, condensation, precipitation and percolation, which allows us to drink water the dinosaurs used. An art project reinforces concepts introduced in the presentation.
