Aquatic Connections is involved with the Ponds for Kids Program for the 4th year in a row at a local elementary school. Twelve kindergarten and first grade students signed up for a six week, after school enrichment class. During the class, the kids will actually construct an indoor pond. They learn to work together as a team, using various math and science skills, measuring the gallons of water, weighing the rock that they use, and taking the water temperature. Their pond will be a complete ecosystem with plants, fish and proper filtration. The class sparks their curiousity and their imagination. It's a great way to learn about ponds and nature. To see photos of their pond as they build it, visit the projects & photos page on Aquatic Connections website.
