Delaware Estuary Watershed Workshops

WHEN: Wednesday, July 20, 2016 WHERE: The Aquatic Resources Education Center, Smyrna DE TIME: 9:00 am – 4:00 pm Photo by Jerry Franklin
Join us as we make our way down the estuary from Schuylkill County to Philadelphia to Central Delaware, exploring natural resources, diverse communities and unique, hands-on ways to engage students. Attend one, two, three or all four days of our workshops! Daily agendas are available online at www.delawareestuary.org.
Rural Waters WHEN: Monday, July 18, 2016 WHERE: Schuylkill and Berks Counties TIME: 9:00 am – 4:30 pm While we often think of waters in the cities being polluted, waters in rural areas are polluted as well. We will explore this area of Pennsylvania where acid mine drainage is a problem. We will visit streams impacted in addition to visiting a site that is remediating the past and cleaning our waters. The day will finish with a visit to a working farm to see how the farmers lessen their impacts on our waterways. *Transportation will be provided from Schuylkill County
Urban Waters WHEN: Tuesday, July 19, 2016 WHERE: Fairmount Water Works, Philadelphia, PA TIME: 8:45 am – 4:00 pm
Cost is $25 per workshop. $80 for all four workshops. Cost includes lunches.
Long field trips to destinations are not always feasible, so this workshop offers techniques to Photo by Wil Scott connect your students with wetlands and natural spaces no matter the limitations. We will explore ways to engage students outdoors as well as ways to incorporate wetland activities while indoors. During the Workshop we will explore the Wetlands and see everything that AREC has to offer. All participants will receive the WOW! Wonders of Wetlands curriculum.

Citizen Scientist – You & Your Students, Too WHEN: Thursday, July 21, 2016 WHERE: Center for the Aquatic Sciences, Camden NJ TIME: 9:00 am – 4:30 pm There are so many ways that we all can be citizen scientists. This workshop will explore the different ways you and your students can become one! The morning will start with learning about the Center for Aquatic Sciences Stream Steward program and how you can start a similar program. Then we will go to Palmyra Cove Nature Park where we will do a mussel survey in the Delaware River learning not only how to find mussels but also why they are important. The day will end with a GLOBE Teacher Workshop by the staff at Palmyra Cove. *Transportation will be provided from Center for the Aquatic Sciences
This day will focus on the complete process of how we use water in the city. Tours may include the wastewater treatment plant as well as where the water is before we drink it. We will also tour the Fairmount Water Works to learn the history of water in the city of Philadelphia. After exploring the center we will discuss ways to incorporate water activities into your classroom using the Understanding the Urban Watershed curriculum.
