For parents and teachers
- Science of the water cycle: evaporation, clouds, rain, snow, groundwater, rivers, the sea, and 35 "inside" trips (water supply plant, home, farm, power plant, data center, ship, whale, space station...). Facts from USGS, NASA, NOAA, EPA and others; every trip lists its sources.
- Five pollution lessons are shown as bad examples with how people made it right, including two true stories (Minamata, Hinkley). Nobody gets hurt; no enemies, no timers, no shop.
- Sound is off at the start so a classroom stays quiet. The speaker button turns it on; the browser remembers.
- Progress saves itself every 15 seconds on this device. Clearing the browser's site data erases it.
- The only links that leave the activity are "Learn more (Wikipedia)" on the medal cards in the journal.
- Crayon or Movie look: the switch at the top of this site sets the default; the Menu inside can change it any time.
