Waste Watchers                                   Grades 4-7

Where is “Garbage Island”? What can aquatic insects tell us about water quality? Can clear water still be polluted water? Where does the water in my sink or toilet go after I flush it down the drain?

Investigate these questions and a whole lot more in our NEW Waste Watchers school program.

Get your students involved in water awareness and conservation by opening their eyes to the often unseen world of water pollution. This program begins in the classroom where students will learn about water pollution - where it comes from, how it affects multiple ecosystems, and what can be done to help prevent the contamination of our waterways. In the second portion of this program, students move outside for our hands-on water quality testing and analysis portion. Learn about biological and chemical water quality indicators and help us determine the state of our local bodies of water.
