Little Scientists: Water Bugs and Water Science

Step into the role of an environmental scientist with Education Officer Nick as we uncover the secrets of our waterways.

Children will collect and study macro invertebrates - tiny creatures that tell big stories about ecosystem health, from two different aquatic habitats. They will then discover how ECOllaboration uses water-testing equipment to monitor the environment. We’ll compare results, learn what they mean for water health, and finish with a LEGO challenge.

This workshop is aimed at children 5-10 years old with an interest in bugs and the environment.

Please note that children will need to be supervised at all times as this is not a drop off session.

What to bring:

• Enclosed Shoes

• Sunscreen

• Bug Repellent

• Hat

• Water Bottle
