Celebrate March with Kid Zone

In honor of the Environmental Protection Agency’s (EPA) annual Fix-a-Leak Week, celebrated March 14 through March 20, we want to encourage you to share Water Wise Wendy’s 8 leak detection tips and complete the EPA’s student worksheet. The EPA’s worksheet helps students and families learn how to find leaks and save water at home.

Our Kid Zone team is also offering a Fix-a-leak prize box for classes that have a minimum of 15 students who complete the worksheet. Teachers whose classes have reached this minimum will be entered into a drawing for an Amazon gift card! Send an email to schools@zone7water.com with the number of worksheets your students completed (on the honor system!) by March 31 to be entered into the drawing.

March is also groundwater awareness week on March 6 to the 12. In honor of groundwater awareness, we are sharing our middle school groundwater lesson and how students can build their own awesome aquifers at home!  

We offer other Kid Zone lessons for K-8.  Each grade level has its own customized lesson aligned with the Next Generation Science Standards. Our lessons are easy for teachers to use and require no additional lesson planning. They can be utilized virtually, virtually with a live stream component, or you can have an in-person visit. You can sign up on Zone 7’s website.

Fix-a-Leak with Water Wise Wendy  

Water leaks are the most common source of excessive water usage in the region, but luckily, one-time repairs can result in significant water savings.  Fixing sprinkler leaks, as just one example, can save up to 500 gallons per month, per customer. Let’s see how Water Wise Wendy checks her sprinkler heads, in the video below! 


Create an Awesome Aquifer

Students can follow along with the video below to make their own aquifer at home. The supplies needed to experiment with our team are a clear container, some gravel, and some water! Interested in our full groundwater lesson, where students learn all about the water beneath our feet? Head over to our Kid Zone lessons page to access the full lesson and activities.
