Water Cycle and Erosion Field Trip

Contact Us

Use digital and light microscopes to look closely at soil samples to better understand how weathering influences erosion. Become an aquatic ecologist: decide if the water is healthy based on the animals you collect, and look for signs of erosion in aquatic habitats.

Water Cycle and Erosion is a part of a two-part program series with 1x in-class program and 1x field trip program. You may choose to book only the in-class or field trip program, but we recommend booking both for deeper engagement.
