The Wonder of Watersheds
Classroom: Students identify their watershed address using Martha's Vineyard watershed maps, and then as a group build their community with our watershed model to discover the interaction of land use and water quality and the actions they can take to help keep our waters clean.
Civic engagement field trip: Put knowledge into action as we remind our community to refrain from contaminating our waters. We will put signs on storm drains and collect trash along the way.
Kayaking field trip: Students explore the salt marsh and tidal creeks for marine life and collect water samples. Back on shore, we will perform various water quality tests and reveal how healthy (or not) our pond is.
