Topics taught at the WRC fall under two large categories -- water in natural systems and water in engineered systems.
Learn about the Spokane Valley-Rathdrum Prairie (SVRP) Aquifer and its connection with the Spokane River and surrounding lakes. Follow Drippy the Water Drop as he travels in our watershed but also when he enters the engineered water cycle and is used by humans.

The Water Resource Center (WRC) provides a fantastic setting for interactive, NGSS-
aligned learning.
WRC educators provide locally-relevant water education to promote stewardship of water quality and quantity in the Spokane Valley-Rathdrum Prairie Aquifer and the Spokane River.
Our goals for each class are to learn age-relevant concepts, to instill curiosity about water and our environment, and to have fun!
This is a great option for classrooms, homeschool groups, and scout troops. Educators will take your group through 2-3 of our classic water science activities at the Water Resource Center at 1004 N Freya Street. Typical visits are 1.5-2 hours in length.
