At Home with Nature
Watershed, Water Cycle and Water Quality
1. Macroinvertebrate Mayhem
Learn about aquatic macroinvertebrates (water insects) and how their presence is an indicator of the health of an environment. Then, roll the dice on this activity that reinforces what you learned.
2. Rain, Rain…A Hands-on Precipitation Demonstration
Learn where precipitation comes from! Watch this demonstration with Shannon as she makes a cloud and then makes it rain.
3. Storytime With Heritage Conservancy
Gather round, it’s storytime! Follow a current of water as it starts out in one of the teeniest sources (a brook) and flows to the largest body of water (the ocean). There is a lot to learn along the way! This story is a great add-on to the EnviroScape demonstration video below. Happy reading!
4. What is a Watershed?” Featuring the EnviroScape
What we do on land impacts the quality of the water we drink. Watch this hands-on demonstration of how pollutants get into our drinking water, and then create your own watershed at home.
