Long Island Sound in a Jar

Here's a great program from UCONN Connecticut Sea Grant.  It's a good connection to the fourth grade unit on watersheds and the Long Island Sound.  It's a super fun, hands-on way to think like scientists about pollution and natural systems.

The Conservation Commission has all the tools needed.  Green Schools is working on a way to make this program available as a kit to bring into the school.
