Water and the life that it harbors are magnets for curious minds. From lily pads and pond muds to swamps and marshes, and from still pools to the rolling ripples of the stream and river, we’ll visit an aquatic environment near your learning center and explore the conditions for freshwater life, the survival adaptations of aquatic plants and animals and the human impact on these environments. Puppet shows, activities, slides of freshwater creatures and numerous outdoor explorations and measurements bring the nature of fresh water to life. Copies of activities and follow-ups, plus a resource guide to curricula and books for freshwater study, will be supplied at the workshop.

A 2-1/2 hour workshop for teachers of children from grades K-12,
