Junior scientists get creative!
Students have been learning about plant anatomy, the small water cycle and river ecology in several workshops!
Our own Laura Fisher visited the delightful Ilford, Capertee and Glen Alice Public Schools with fellow artist and Capertee Valley landowner Leanne Thompson. Students made drawings and models of plants to understand how they transpire water and cool their environment, and made painted stones of the tiny critters that are so vital to river food webs and highlight the importance of riparian vegetation.
We love the sciencey art smocks too!
These creations will all form part of our Waterland exhibition in Kandos, opening on Saturday 6th August at 2pm!
These school workshops form part of the 'Modelling Landscape Rehydration for Catchments, Communities and Curriculum project', which received grant funding from the Australian Government.
