Hubbard Brook Experimental Forest

Hosted by: Lindsey Rustad, USDA Forest Service
Facilitated by: Sarah Garlick, Hubbard Brook Research Foundation

This roundtable convened 12 educators and scientists for a focus group to evaluate the Waterviz water cycle visualization and sonification tools for use in formal and informal education settings. Kaari Casey, an informal science educator from the City Parks Foundation, presented teaching materials for Waterviz that she developed during her 2016 Research Experience for Teachers program at Hubbard Brook. Participants worked in pairs to explore both the website and Kaari’s materials, and participants offered feedback to the Waterviz project team during facilitated group discussions.
