Cedar River Watershed

Wyatt's preschool class took a field trip to the Cedar River Watershed, which is just up the road from our house. The kids learned about the water cycle and had a great time with the hands on displays that used ping pong balls and air pressurized tubes to demonstrate water run off.

Wyatt helped Sam look through this view finder. He is such a sweet big brother!

 

Wyatt and his buddy, Nicholas, couldn't get enough of the ping pong display.

Miss Amy showed Sammy this toilet display that was complete with flushing sounds (i.e. one of the most hilarious sounds ever for a 3 year old!)

Wyatt and Sam stood on this scale and then had to start pumping to finally equal the approximate amount of water they have inside their bodies.

This was one of my favorite photos of the day... can you tell which child isn't used to sitting still (and upright) while listening to the teacher?

We also went on a nature hike between the watershed and Rattlesnake Lake and the kids got to practice using binoculars, magnifying glasses, maps and compasses. Wyatt and Sam loved the experience.
