Firstly students watch ‘Functions of a Watershed’, our watershed PowerPoint with voice-over, to gain a clear picture of watershed formation, species arrival, adaptive radiation and management of watersheds. Follow up the presentation with the video ‘Watershed Demo’ as our outreach liaison models a watershed made from diatomaceous earth from creation to today including flowing water and fun additions to the landscape showing change. Follow up both videos with provided Google assessments.

Jeopardy Game:
Pick from two interactive games!
- Native or Not?: Students pick a category from birds, plants, insects, and animals. It will show students a photo and they have to guess whether or not it is native to Hawai’i. Answers reveal unique information about each species depicted. For double jeopardy have students guess if the species depicted is indigenous, endemic or invasive!
- Watershed 🙂: Students pick a category from True/False, watersheds, water, and water pollution. Questions include concepts about groundwater, streams, and watershed formation.
Contact us to have us host the game and provide more detailed information on the species and concepts in the game.
