Session 1: Water, water everywhere!

July 4-8, 11-15, 18-22, and 25-29


It covers 90% of the earth’s surface, it makes up 70% of our bodies, and it’s 100% essential to all life – water defines our blue planet. Follow water as it cycles through the sky and surface, play in our ponds and lakes, and find out how you can be a water-watcher – looking out for our most precious resource.


Session 2: Listen to the Land


August 8-12, 15-19, and 22-26


We grow our food in it. We love playing in it. We build on top of it, but eventually, it hides our human history. What stories are spun in the soil? How deep do roots go? Will our soil be around forever? Who lives deep underground? How do we use soil to grow food? Dig up some answers as you Listen to the Land in August.
