Elementary School

The following programming is offered for children in elementary school.

 

The Wetland on Wheels is a mobile classroom that travels to Delmarva schools to present fun, hands-on, and academically challenging wetland education programs.

The Wetland 101 Trunk lending resource is the perfect hands-on resource to supplement your water related curriculum, specifically wetlands.  The information within the trunks can be adapted for use with grades K-6. Complete instructional information is included

The WOW! Activity Trunk is a lending resource that's perfect for WOW! Facilitators or educators leading a WOW! workshop. The Wonders of Wetlands Activity Trunk includes ready-to-use material sets for leading over 17 of our most popular WOW! activities.

Books, Bogs, & Bugs is a fun, engaging and hands-on program designed to introduce 4-8 year olds to wetlands through dress- up, crafts, felt boards, and books. Each program in the series is 60 minutes.  Please see the events calendar for when the program will be at your local Eastern Shore library.

Investigate the animals that live in and around the wetlands of Maryland as we challenge your students to identify creatures using actual artifacts.  With Skins, Skulls, and Shells students can inspect beaver skulls and pelts, shark eggs, turtle shells, and more. This program is perfect for your 9-13 year old up-and-coming naturalist. Please see the events calendar for when the program will be at your local Eastern Shore library.

The Wetland Suvivor program puts physical, mental, and strategic limits to the test. Participants must rely on their wetland knowledge as they compete in field-day style challenges which introduce them to the functions and values of wetlands.

This class allows students to take an up-close look at what happens to wetlands in the winter, what animals have stuck around, and what they do to survive.

Environmental Concern annually hosts the St. Michael's Aquatic Research Team (S.M.A.R.T.)
