Wildside Waterworld

This science session will give the children the opportunity to explore the aquatic habitats around Wildside Activity Centre and through their investigations, determine which species may be present and which factors affect the appearance and quality of these fascinating habitats.

During the session the group will:
       * consider health and safety issues
       * make predictions about aquatic habitats, using reference material when appropriate
       * use simple scientific equipment to collect and assess data from one or more aquatic habitats
       * draw conclusions from their investigations and make comparisons between different habitat types
       * produce some creative work based on their observations
       * identify and record plants and animals that are observed
