School classroom presentations

Our Water Efficiency Supervisor Rick Schultz will come to your classroom and provide a 60- to 70-minute interactive presentation directly relating to several Earth Science Standards (fifth and sixth grade). These programs teach students about the water cycle and how it relates to Castle Rock. Students are able to not only learn about water as a resource but participate in hands-on activities for deeper understanding and relate that knowledge to where they live.

The presentation includes:

• The water cycle
• Where Castle Rock gets its water
• Groundwater and surface water-renewable and nonrenewable resources
• Stormwater and water quality - the impact of human civilization
• Importance of conservation - and our Town’s goal
• Students help build an aquifer in a fish tank

For questions to schedule a presentation at your school, please contact us.
