Ms. Smarty-Plants™ from The Water Conservation Garden takes families on a fun and interactive journey of the water cycle that flows through the Colorado River, all the way to your faucet. Make conservation connections along the way with a special mixture of music, magic, and fun. Ms. Smarty-Plants™ ignites the EARTH HERO in each of us! Together “We can change the world with our own two hands.”

Music Notes Math Concert

Our math concerts have taught, engaged, and entertained countless students, teachers and parents. People of all ages enjoy listening and dancing to our math songs. Once you witness a Music Notes concert you will never look at math the same!

Waves of Migrations, & Rhythms of Cycles

Our booth will be an interactive installation. A "work" area in the first tent will teach the public about how fossil fuels are speeding up the natural cycle of global warming. Public will create a paper model molecule of CO2 from a orange tissue paper with a dinosaur print. This will be brought into the second tent, where they add it to our atmosphere model. The second tent will have canvas added to the corners to create a circular chamber (rather than square). The walls will be covered with our studies of natural migrations & cycles.
