Brief description:

Join us for an interactive presentation showcasing EGLE’s Classroom Lending Station—a hands-on resource designed to bring environmental science to life. You’ll get an overview of the station’s models and sampling equipment, followed by a live demonstration on how to use them effectively. These tools help students and teachers explore real-world environmental issues, fostering place-based literacy and stewardship. The models illustrate how point and nonpoint source pollution affect surface and groundwater and demonstrate practical methods to prevent contamination. This is a great opportunity to see how engaging, experiential learning can deepen understanding of ecosystems and water quality.

Learning Outcomes:

• Place based learning tools.
• Illustrating How Contamination Enters the Environment. 
• How To Prevent Contamination
