Watershed science for kids and parents

Nice graphics, solid science, and great videos; I downloaded this for my 8 year old to help reinforce why we need to conserve water at home here in CA. He liked the "under the lake" interactive and water/storm sounds. I like the family-friendly videos all in one place and stuff you can do at home. Great for teaching about watersheds.

Fantastic app for lake science education

The simulation, videos, activities and organization of this app make it perfect for anyone trying to teach about lake science (limnololgy) and to get kids excited about their local fresh water resources.

Take a dive into DIY Lake!

This is a perfect supplement for elementary classrooms studying freshwater ecosystems. I love the 'explore' lake water temperature simulator and the detailed explanations provided in the complementary 'learn' component. A provided collection of short videos will keep learners engaged in self-directed inquiry. The suggested experiments are clearly explained. This app is an outstanding!
