Watershed Science Program
|
Unlike the lakes that freeze over and those animals that hibernate during the long, cold Maine winters – the Friends year-round education programs “heat up” during the school year. Each year, Tamara is in classrooms throughout the watershed on a regular basis with over 800 students! ARE WE IN YOUR SCHOOL? Click here for the Friends Roll Call. Our programs are custom tailored to meet the needs of each classroom….and each teacher, incorporating lessons and activities from nationally recognized programs such as Project Wet, Project Learning Tree, Project Wild; local resources including Maine’s Departments of Environmental Protection and Inland Fisheries & WIldlife; and of course, the Friend’s own original activities! Friends lesson plans are also an excellent way to meet state and national learning standards, while using the watershed around us as a local integrating context to learn skills in science, math, language arts and technology. Whether it be a year-round initiative, multiple visits, a single “splash”, or assistance on a special project or educational event – the Friends stand ready to assist.
