In addition to reaching underserved schools and communities, the mobile lab expands public engagement at parks and festivals. It’s outfitted with a full set of instructional materials, such as microscopes and equipment for monitoring water quality to create hands-on experiences that build awareness and connections to local waterways.

Tammy Piper, Watershed Specialist and an Act 38 Technician with the Franklin County Conservation District in Chambersburg, PA requested Macroinverbrates.org imagery for use in their outdoor signage highlighting stream restoration projects. We're thrilled for NSF supported work to be used in permanent educational signage highlighting the care and stewardship of watershed ecosystems. Conservation districts are unsung heros in environmental education and long term attention on our waterways. |

| This video outlines the Macorinvertebrates.org quiz feature and encourages students to draw each organism and observe their features before using the ID key to identify them. |
This video highlights the ID key and walks students through how to use it to identify living organisms and then highlights the Ephemeroptera page. (featured at ~11:03) | |
Weaver Lake Elementary a STEM school in Maple Grove, Minnesota is using the Macroinvertebrates.org web as part of their course curriculum. The school is located near a lake adjacent and for our value added project, we study the macros that live in our lake. We also take the temperature, clarity readings as well as the pH. Not only do they identify macros, they draw them referencing Macroinvertebrates.org photographs, and then they make a clay creation of a macro they have designed. Then we write a science fiction story about their macroinvertebrates." In November we have a STEM in Action night for our parents to come and see what our students are doing. —Carol Fischer, STEM Teacher Grade 4 |
