pond water ecology
TULE PONDS at TYSON LAGOON

Free Educator Workshops
April 12, 2008 8:30am-2:30pm

winter time spring time

Learn the different organisms that make up the ecology of pond water.  Workshop will include a close up look at microscopes and how to use them as well as learning to key out the different groups. 

Teachers will leave with their own Tule Garden, so they can grow microorganisms like planaria, ostrocods, paramecia, and more right in their classroom that can last throughout the school year.

Participants will take a walking tour of the Tule ponds and Tyson Lagoon, learn how the Hayward fault formed this sag pond and then how engineers constructed new wetlands in an innovative restoration project.

Appropriate for upper elementary to secondary.  Wear comfortable shoes and prepare to be outdoors.
