Welcome to 4th Grade Science
​SAVE THE PLANET
One Child at a time
We all must become stewards of the Earth
The Earth belongs to us all, it is our responsibility to take care of it. You may think that working together to save the Earth and its resouces is ridiculous, but wouldn't you want your children to have a usable planet? If we are not good stewards of our planet, our children and grandchildren will not have a beautiful healthy place to live. Your next question should be: WHAT CAN I DO TO MAKE A DIFFERENCE?
The thirsty earth soaks up the rain,
And drinks, and gapes for drink again.
The plants suck in the earth and are
With constant drinking fresh and fair.
–Abraham Cowley, English poet (1618–67)
Bluegills are a type of small, native sunfish found everywhere in Maryland - ponds, lakes, even tributaries of the Bay. They can be used to make a direct connection for students or visitors between their own watershed and the health of the Rivers and Bay.
This program allows students to learn about the equipment, fish, and food, necessary to raise fish in the classroom that will be returned to their nature habitats in the Spring.
Follow our story as we learn how to appreciate our watershed and the health of the rivers and Cheseapeake Bay.
