These lessons are meant to augment or supplement teachers’ salmon, water or land study.  Each lesson is hands-on and creates lots of excitement and questions!

How long?  Each activity take approximately 1 hour.

What grades?  The Enviroscape works best for grades 3 and up, the Puget Sound Game for grades 4 and up.  The presentations are for only one class at a time.

When?  FISH offers these presentations during winter and spring (the "off season").

How much?  FISH requests a $15-20 donation per class inside King County; outside King County we request a $50 donation.

The Enviroscape is a large watershed and community model, complete with houses, roads, cars, a farm, factory, streams and lake.  Students “pollute” the water, help it rain, and watch how pollution can impact the watershed.  They then come up with solutions to pollution problems and identify things they can do to keep our watersheds (and salmon!) healthy.

In the Puget Sound Game, students practice real-life decision making about situations that ultimately impact the waters of Puget Sound.  Each student is given a scenario card that they read to the group and answer the question on their card.  Periodic measurements and visual observations are taken from the “Puget Sound” to check the quality of the water.  As a class, we discuss what we can all do to protect Puget Sound and our local watersheds.
