SoundWaters: Protecting Long Island Sound Through Education

Turn your field trip into a FIELD STUDY!

Give hands-on learning a new meaning! Sail aboard the Schooner SoundWaters on Long Island Sound. Your students will experience Achimedes' and Bernoulli's principles in action, raise the sails, conduct experiments, and haul in the trawl net as you rotate through the four multidisciplinary, hands-on learning stations:

Structure and Function

Bouyancy and Sail Theory

Water Quality

Forces and Motions

A SoundWaters Educator is devoted to each of the four learning stations. This allows the teachers to observe and participate while enjoying a sail aboard the Schooner SoundWaters. All stations support and amplify your curriculum and exceed CT and NY state core curriculum guidelines.
