Follow a Raindrop 3-Part Series (9am section)

Follow a Raindrop is a 3-part educational program in collaboration with Friends of Scarborough Marsh intended for children ages 8-12. Along this journey, we will investigate the physical properties of water and the biological organisms that depend upon this resource. Composed of three field experiences centered around three different natural communities – freshwater stream and wetland, salt marsh, and coastal beach, participants will gain an appreciation for the complexity of Scarborough’s water systems and their impacts on all life.

With a combination of informative and hands-on experiences, participants should expect to get their hands (and the rest of them) wet! We will measure the characteristics of the water and sample the organisms that live at each site. Bathing suits, and well-fitting waterproof shoes or sandals are a must. We also recommend a change of clothes and a towel.

This is a 3-part series with the dates and locations below. One ticket registers an attendee for the 9am session on all three days. A 3pm section is also available here.

• Wednesday, July 26 | 9-10:30am | Broadturn Farm
• Wednesday, August 9 | 9-10:30am | Blue Point Preserve
• Wednesday, August 16 | 9-10:30am | Ferry Beach

Please purchase one ticket for each child that will attend the program. Parents are not required to buy a ticket, but are asked to attend the program and stay with their child(ren) for the duration of the event.
