WONDERS OF THE WETLAND ADVENTURE

• Te encontrarás con cuatro personajes diferentes de los humedales.

​

• Cuando encuentres al personaje que estás buscando, mira a tu alrededor para encontrar una pelota que contiene una pista escondida.

​

• Una vez que resuelvas la pista, descubrirás por qué los humedales son importantes.

​

• You will encounter four different characters from the wetland.

​

• When you find the character, you are looking for: Look around for a ball with a hidden clue inside.

​

• Once you solve the clue then you will learn why the wetlands are important.

INTO THE WETLANDS �ADVENTURE…

This is Fatima Woodpecker here with WTER TV – bringing you all the News of the Wetlands!

Today, our top story focuses on humans in the wetlands.  Many residents are concerned that humans are unaware of how they affect our home.

Here to talk with me about this is local wetland resident, Harvey Harlequin Beetle. Harvey what can you tell us?

​

​

​

Wow Barry – that is shocking! One would think…

​

Hold on everyone!  We are getting some breaking news!  We are going to go live to another part of the wetland for more news!

​

​

Harvey Harlequin Beetle here! I was hanging out in the wetlands enjoying the view from my Bladderpod plant when I saw four humans running though the wetlands. 

​

 They were running off the trails and stepping on plants.  I yelled “STOP!” but they didn’t seem to realize I was there.

Fatima, it was like they didn’t know they could be damaging plants and animals’ habitats!

​

​

WTER TV reporter Antonia Ant here – a little bug with BIG news!

​

I am here with Larry Lemonade Berry a local wetland resident.

Larry, can you tell us what you saw?

Listen Antonia, people may think that I’m

just a plant and I don’t know anything, but let me tell you, I am extremely upset by what I just saw!

​

A bunch of humans just left trash all over the wetlands! What a shame! I don’t think they realize that when it rains, the trash will get washed into the ocean. And who wants to look at trash all day?  Not me! I don’t want trash all over my home!

​

Don’t people care??

I don’t understand it, Antonia.

Wow Larry Lemonade Berry! That sounds terrible! I wonder if humans just don’t understand how important wetlands are? If they understood maybe, they would be more considerate! Someone really needs to tell them! Back to you Fatima.

​

Well folks, this is a breaking story we will continue to follow, but right now we need some help from Science Leaders!

  We need to show a really amazing group of science leaders how important the wetlands are so they can tell others!

​

Do you know any kind and generous science leaders who might want to go on an adventure to learn about why wetlands are important so they can tell others?

​

If you are a science leader who wants to learn more we will send you on a journey to meet some of the local wetland residents who can teach you why the wetlands are important.  I hope you choose to go because Harvey, Fatima, Larry and Antonio are counting on you!

​

It's time to go on YOUR adventure!

SCIENCE LEADERS ARE MATH LEADERS

Science Leaders =

Math Leaders

​

Líderes Científicos = Líderes Matemáticos

32

THREE PRINCIPLES OF A MATH MINDSET

At Ocean Discovery, we believe:

• Everyone is a math person. People of all cultures, races, and ethnicities have contributed to math throughout history.
• It’s powerful to do math in a community.
• Math can be creative, fun, and applicable to life. 

​

33

En Ocean Discovery, creemos:

• Todas las personas pueden ser buenas en matemáticas. Personas de todas las culturas, razas y etnias han contribuido a las matemáticas a lo largo de la historia.

​

• Es muy valioso hacer matemáticas en comunidad.

​

• Las matemáticas pueden ser creativas, divertidas y aplicables a la vida cotidiana.

​

CIRCLE TOSS 

• I will read the question out loud and toss the ball to someone.

​

• If you catch it, you will share your answer with the group.

​

• When you’re done, toss the ball to someone new.

​

​

Question: Can anyone think of a time when we used math today? 

​

• Leeré la pregunta en voz alta y le lanzar é la pelota a alguien.

​

• Si la atrapas, compartirás tu respuesta con el grupo.

​

• Cuando termines, lánzale la pelota a alguien más.

​

Pregunta: ¿Alguien puede pensar en algún momento en que usamos las matemáticas hoy?

​
