Salmonids in the Classroom
- Project-based program for grades K-12
- Students raise trout or salmon from eggs to small fish in their classrooms, and then release the fish into a local river.
- Teachers, volunteers and students cooperatively learn about the life cycle of salmon and trout, and their habitat needs.
- Program goal: By understantding the need to conserve habitats, students become stewards of local watersheds and can make informed decisions in the future.
You Can Be Involved Too!
- Teachers, start participating in the program by attending a workshop. Equipment, if it is available, will be lent to you. Many teachers obtain grant money or funding through other sources for the equipment needed.
- Volunteers, both short-term and long-term volunteer opportunities are available. Help is needed in a variety of ways. These include delivering eggs or equipment to classrooms, providing mechanical assistance for the equipment, classroom presentations, and assisting with field trips.
- Clubs, Agencies, and Other Organizations, many organizations donate their time and/or their resources. These resources may be a meeting place or storage space for equipment that can be borrowed by teachers. Support for the program is also given as funding for equipment and other educational resources.
