Join us for a field trip that will inspire and give you the tools to take environmental action in your classroom.
This field trip will start indoors where we will design and construct microplastic data collection devices - BabyLegs - to collect data in a local waterway. Once we have our devices built, we will test them out in a stream or river close by. Throughout the field trip we will share all of our resources and tips so you can bring this community science action project into your classroom and connect with other educators across the nation.

Super keen to try this activity out with your class? At the end of the field trip, sign up to implement this project with your students and receive a free classroom kit!

Meet in room 201 (second floor in the Kinnear Centre)
