Freshwater & Wetland Ecosystems

Studying aquatic life, both in the field and in the classroom, always gains student interest. From strange-looking aquatic insect larvae to microscopic plants and animals, exploring aquatic environments is a sure way to garner interest that spills over into a general interest in water issues. Included in this section are engaging children's books on pond, creek, and lake organisms, wetland animal stickers, biome flip charts, the Nature Niches Aquatic Life Sticker Kit, Nature Circles Pond and Stream Study Cards, the Journaling at the Water's Edge field journal specifically for aquatic explorations, and a variety of laminated pocket field guides to aquatic insects, macroinvertebrates and other fascinating aquatic organisms.
