WoW focuses water lessons
REFUGE/DDWS
Fifth-graders at G. Weaver Hipps Elementary learn about the water cycle and how important it is to take care of water.
The J.N. “Ding” Darling National Wildlife Refuge’s Wildlife on Wheels (WoW) team finished at G. Weaver Hipps Elementary in Lehigh Acres last week. Fifth-graders learned about the water cycle and how important it is to take care of water. Students used pH paper and a turbidity meter to test water for two variables that determine if it is safe to drink. Next, the mobile classroom moves to Oak Hammock Middle School in Fort Myers through Feb. 11.
