This outdoor activity/field trip requires a place where minnows swim, such as a local pond or brook.

Dig a hole, line it, fill it with fresh water, and you have a water hole: a good place to study colonization.

In this activity, learners explore how salt water freezes in comparison to fresh water.

In this activity, learners capture and observe planaria, which are worms that eat tiny pond critters.

In this outdoor activity/field trip, learners catch and observe water striders to explore their movement and feeding behaviors.
