Estuary Exploration for Grades 1 to 3 |
1 1/2 hours
Introduces the student to the Estuary, a place of edges where fresh
water meets salt, where plants and animals must live in a habitat which
is both wet and dry, salt and fresh, warm and cold. Students learn about
food webs and habitat through games and by observation.
(Note: Kindergarten programs are also available by arrangement.
Following games and felt board activities introducing aquatic habitats,
children will investigate a pond habitat and discover for themselves who
is living there.)
|
Salmon Cycle for Grades 4 and 5 |
2 hours
Noons Creek Hatchery is a teaching hatchery which releases tens of
thousands of Chum and Coho fry annually. Students will learn about the
life cycle of the salmon both in the hatchery and in our creeks and ocean.
|
Stream Science for Grades 6 and 7+ |
2 1/2 hours
Scientists measure the health of a creek in many ways:
by its temperature, its pH, by what is dissolved in it whether seen or
unseen, and even by what lives in it! Students make these measurements
for themselves, and in the process not only learn how to collect data,
but discover what makes our urban streams healthy or sick, bountiful or
barren. This program can also be adapted to middle and high school students.
