WATER WONDERS - A Free Workshop

“Water Wonders,” is a hands-on program for Manatee & Sarasota County middle school students. This program includes a 2-hour workshop and 30 minutes of exhibit floor exploration at no additional cost to the student.

The “Water Wonders” program follows the Sunshine State Science Standards and consists of a 40-minute introduction about the wonders of water, and four 20-minute inquiry-based hands-on lessons where students have the opportunity to become environmental scientists for the day. These new G.WIZ environmental scientists explore the importance of water in their world, observe the importance of water to the bay front environment, investigate microscopic activity in water samples, model point and non-point sources of pollution in the watershed, discuss the importance of keeping the ecosystem of the coastal zones healthy, and conduct water-quality tests.

This free 3-hour workshop is from 10 am to 1 pm Mondays through Fridays. If you are interested in signing up for this program and also need information on bus transportation, please contact G.WIZ at (941) 309-4949 x116.
