Homeschool Programs
The Hamilton County SWCD has partnered with the Public Library of Cincinnati and Hamilton County to provide a free homeschool program series. These workshops are specifically designed for homeschool families. Programs allow participants to get hands-on while learning about soil and water. Please check with the hosting library to register for each program.

Be Water Wise
For many people around the world, using clean water isn't as easy as turning on a tap! While looking at images of water scarcity worldwide, participants will learn about drinking water resources in the United States and around the world. Afterwards students will attempt to create their own filter with supplied materials and test its effectiveness. Thanks to Procter & Gamble, for their generous gift of the P&G water filtration packets. Recommended for ages 8 and up.

Water Quality? Ask the Bugs!
Through this adapted Project WET activity, participants will learn that by conducting bioassessements on aquatic macroinvertebrates you can determine the quality of the water. Participants will conduct bioassessements on three different stream types (using different materials commonly found at home) without leaving the library.
