About the program

Registration for the River Detectives program will provide you with:

• entry to an interactive website
• updated data for exploration
• access to ‘How to’ guides
• resources and activities linked to the Victorian Curriculum (Geography, Mathematics, Science, Sustainability and more)

To support the launch, we are offering a number of schools the chance for additional support in 2018, including:

• a water monitoring kit for your group (on loan from March to November)
• two professional development sessions to help you run the activities in the classroom.

Professional development sessions

• Workshop 1 (March) – Introduction to water science and recording your data
• Workshop 2 (September) – Discovering the world of water bugs

River Detectives is an initiative funded by the Department of Environment, Land, Water and Planning.
