Licking Soil and Water offers multiple education programs, all free of charge. We offer a variety of in-person education programs, where our staff comes out to teach your students, as well as several loaner kits that educators can check out to use in their own classrooms or educational settings. This year we have two new education programs that we would like to highlight: the erosion simulator and our pollinator program!
Erosion Simulator (pictured) - Students learn about the processes of weathering, erosion, and deposition through a PowerPoint presentation and an interactive experiment. Students learn about the impacts that the forces of weathering, erosion, and decomposition have on soil health and aquatic life. The program ends with a hands-on experiment where students can see, first hand, the effect that ground cover, or the lack of it, has on erosion.
Pollinator Program - Students learn what a pollinator is and why pollinators are so important. We look at what factors are negatively affecting our pollinator populations and some actions that we can take to help protect our pollinators. Students can also learn about the life cycle of a butterfly by observing resin models of the butterfly's different life stages.
We would love your feedback as we continue to work on our list of programs! Please take a couple of minutes to fill out this quick survey. It will help us develop the types of programs you seek in your classroom or educational setting. The link to the survey can be found below.
