Kindergarten – Classroom Presentation (45 minutes)
A brief introduction on water usage is discussed. During the 
classroom presentation the children will become familiar with the importance of water in relation to plant growth. This is presented to the students through a story, “The Tiny Seed,” two musical productions (“Brown Squirrel” Song and “Mr. Sun” Song) and a scientific experiment with water and seeds. We leave the class items for the teacher and the students to enjoy. These items remind them where our water comes from and how to save.
1st Grade – Classroom Presentation (45 minutes)
A brief introduction of the water story is discussed. This classroom presentation focuses on the water cycle. With the use of a felt board, a water cycle song, a story “Water Dance”, a musical play and a water cycle bracelet craft, students learn the states of water. We leave the class items for the teacher and the students to enjoy. These items remind them where our water comes from and how to save.
2nd Grade – Classroom Presentation (45 minutes)
A brief introduction of the water story is discussed. The water cycle is discussed further in depth with hands on activity. Every child will assist “Drip Drop the Dragon” and “Fred the Fish” as they battle pollution through their travels from the kingdom of Peaceful to the ocean. In addition, the water cycle is highlighted. We leave the class items for the teacher and the students to enjoy. These items remind them where our water comes from and how to save.
3rd Grade – Field Trip (2 Hours)
The tour begins at the globe discussing 
the importance of the water cycle and water conservation. Students then proceed to the Sun Spot where a discussion of the elements needed in plant growth is covered. Following this, students are taken to the Garden Lab where they become botanists through activities and a plant dissection. We give the class items for the teacher and the students to enjoy.
