Watershed Exploration

Everyone in the world lives in a watershed! Do you know what one you live in?

In our Watershed Exploration program learn what a watershed is with our hands-on watershed model. The watershed model is a tabletop plastic landscape where students are able to experience first-hand how nonpoint source pollution is created and moves into streams via stormwater runoff. Using this model, we will present an engaging demonstration to teach students what a watershed is and how it can be affected by pollution from humans. Students will know what watershed they live in and take part in an activity to highlight the importance of clean water for all creatures.

Available for Kindergarten to Grade 7.
