The Great Water Mystery is Solved!
Third Graders of Stillmeadow Elementary School jumped right into solving science mysteries today.

Springtime launches at SoundWaters when our 80-foot, three-masted Schooner awakens from its long winter hibernation in dry dock, shedding its protective covering of shrink wrap, donning its masts and poised for a full schedule of science education sails for schools, and daytime or evening sails for the public. In just a few weeks, Schooner SoundWaters educators will […]
Moving on up!
Our fast-growing terrapins have acquired new, larger housing! Their new habitats are much more spacious, complete with rocks for basking and climbing. To accommodate their new homes, we rearranged their heat and sun lights into a new configuration, providing more direct light on their basking rocks. We hope to see another growth spurt now that […]
