Welcome to the Learning Zone!
We created these portals to be used in shorter, more flexible settings. They have ties to the larger project-based learned curriculum experience of the Edwards Aquifer Authority Education Outreach Center, but these activities require less time and preparation.
Here you will find hands-on, experiential learning portals designed with multiple ways to learn and get excited about the story of the Edwards Aquifer and all of its ecosystems.
