We close out every school year with a hands-on exploration of Earth Science. No different this year, we decided to expand our focus to include our younger scientists in exploring water pollution and filtration. How do we clean water? We answered this question through a hands-on exploration with our K-5 science groups.

Water is one of the precious resources on or planet, but many of us use much more than we need without realizing it. Small changes in daily habits can add up to big savings for both the environment and your utility bill. As we focus on Earth Month, we explore impactful ways we can support and connect with our planet. Here are some ways:

Dirt is more than just dirt—it’s a living, breathing world beneath our feet. Soil is home to tiny organisms that break down organic material, create nutrients for plants, and keep ecosystems healthy. One of the best ways to explore this hidden world is by digging in and taking a closer look.

Before you throw something away, take a second look—could it have a second life? Recycling is important, but reusing and repurposing items can be even better for the environment. This week, challenge yourself and your family to turn an everyday household item into something new and useful.

Spring is the perfect time to get outside, breathe in the fresh air, and observe the world around us. One of the best ways to connect with nature is by taking a simple walk. Let's make it even more fun with Nature Walk Bingo!
