Follow this program with a trip to the wastewater treatment plant. This program is great for classrooms exploring stream restoration or planting native plants around their school. Highly recommended as a pre-activity to a field trip. Ideal for groups studying water quality issues, and groups preparing for a downspout disconnection activity or boat tour. Introduce your students to these fascinating water bugs before your next field trip.
Students learn to identify organisms and their pollution tolerances.
