The Understanding Groundwater presentations target 5th graders but are adaptable to 4th and 6th grades as well. These class programs are held in conjunction with the Michigan Groundwater Stewardship Program. Using a groundwater model and hands on activities, students review basic water knowledge, learn what groundwater is, the surface/groundwater connection and the importance of protecting and conserving groundwater resources.

This one-hour program has been noted by teachers as relating well to MEAP test materials, school benchmarks and standards. The Understanding Groundwater Program is free and is scheduled November through March. Call 586-469-6440 to register or for more information.
