Upcycled Nature Journal Activity
Every great explorer needs a journal to record their observations and findings! Create our own upcycled journal using materials found in your home and in nature. You can use it to record what you see while walking our grounds at Glen Foerd or what you see in your very own backyard!
Watershed Science Activities
Where does water come from? Why is it important? What is a watershed? This month, we will explore how water moves on Earth, what a watershed is and why it’s important, and find out what watershed area we live in!
water tower challenge
We use water in our everyday lives for drinking, cleaning, cooking, and playing in. When we turn on the faucet, the water flows out for our use. Where does our drinking water come from? This month, we will investigate where our drinking water comes from and build our own water tower.
