"Explore, Learn, and Protect!"
Earn your Junior Limnologist certificate by completing the activities in our Junior Limnologist book (disponibles en español: el reto Limnólogo Júnior) while exploring the UC Davis Tahoe Science Center on your own or with a docent during a tour. Completing the Junior Limnologist challenge will provide you with the scientific knowledge and decision-making skills that will help protect Lake Tahoe and other lakes around the world. Find answers to the questions by visiting all the exhibits, trying the hands-on activities, or talking to a scientist. Take the Junior Limnologist challenge and begin your investigation today!
Present your completed book to a volunteer docent or TERC staff member to sign your official Junior Limnologist certificate and receive a prize. The challenge is best suited for kids ages 8-12, although all ages are welcome to participate. For students ages 7 and under, we have a simplified Little Limnologist booklet also available.
