Water gives life and supports life. Water is life!

Join Cathy Levett in this interactive workshop to learn about water catchments and water quality. Children will investigate where water comes from and how we know it is healthy enough to drink. Participants will find out how it all works using a catchment model!

Children will discover amazing critters that live in our waterways as they dip into trays of pond water to look for insect larvae and other small animals. Children can use a mobile phone or tablet with special iScope microscopes to calculate the health of the pond by the types of macroinvertebrates collected.

This activity is for school-aged children aged 6 years and over. The event is free, but bookings are essential. Children aged under 12 years must be accompanied by an adult. Adults accompanying children do not need a ticket.
