Ground Water Model The Groundwater Model is an interactive classroom tool that is designed to show the flowage of water and toxins through confined and unconfined aquifers. It also demonstrates the effects of pumping on these aquifers. The model can be used as a teacher demonstration or by students themselves. This item MUST be picked up from the WCEE office. It cannot be shipped.	Enviroscape We all live in a watershed with water pollution that originates from many sources. This model helps students visualize what stormwater pollution and runoff look like. The Enviroscape must be picked up from the WCEE. It is not able to be shipped.
Fish Hotel The Fish Hotel Kit was developed by the Center for Land Use Education at the University of Wisconsin Stevens Point. The kit helps students explore the effects of shoreline trees on Wisconsin’s fish species and is recommended for students in grades K-8.

The Invasive Species Kit helps students of all ages learn how to recognize some of the invasive species that are harming the Great Lakes.

Fishing is Fun Backpack Help young children learn more about our freshwater species through the Fishing for Fun Backpack.

Kits were assembled by the U.S. Fish & Wildlife Conservation Office in La Crosse and its friends group, Friends of the Upper Mississippi Fishery Services. This kit is recommended for learners ages PreK through 5th grade.	Impervious Surfaces Kit Examine what happens to rain as it travels across pervious and impervious surfaces! This kit contains materials for a surface demonstration along with resources and posters that can be used to help learners understand run-off and how it impacts lakes, rivers, streams, and the fish that inhabit them.
