Learning at Home with Nature Vision

Looking for some at-home learning opportunities? Nature Vision has developed a series of stormwater science packets that K-12 students can complete at home.

These packets support Next Generation Science Standards and are separated out by the grade bands: K-2, 3-5, 6-8, and 9-12. Each day students will explore a science lesson related to the packet topic and fulfill corresponding activities that further their understanding. These lessons are designed for students to finish with little teacher/parent/caregiver guidance.

These packets were developed with support from City of Auburn Utilities, City of Bothell, City of Lynnwood, King County Flood Control District, and King County Wastewater Treatment Division.
