Trivia Night: Water World
How well do you know about water in our world?

Join Citizens’ Environmental Coalition and Houston Public Works for a night of fun as we test your knowledge of water use around the world. We’re also raising money for the Houston Water Aid to Elderly Residents (WATER) Fund, which provides assistance to senior citizens in need.

For this event, join us LIVE in Google Meets (link will come in an email) to socialize and get Kahoot Trivia game-codes. You’ll need two screens open on your computer (one for Kahoot Trivia, and the other for Google Meet), otherwise use two devices.

Kid/family/pet-friendly!

Hints will be posted on Social Media, so follow CEC on Facebook: Houston Green Film Series, Instagram: cechoust and Twitter: @cechouston.

City Nature Challenge
Apr 30 – May 2 all-day

Participate in the City Nature Challenge on April 30 – May 2. Be part of an international project, support outdoor learning and exploration, and even integrate technology into the classroom.

Find an Educator Toolkit here: https://citynaturechallenge.org/education-toolkit/

Find a student-friendly explanation video here: https://youtu.be/XCXICUfwuk0.

Visit the Houston project page on iNaturalist here: https://www.inaturalist.org/projects/city-nature-challenge-2021-houston-galveston.

Join in a fun challenge to observe and record wild species. It is easy to participate by making observations on your own using the iNaturalist app. Just take a picture of a plant or animal, and the community will help identify which species it is. Any observation in the greater metropolitan area of Houston will count during the four-day challenge. You can participate by exploring the life in your backyard (and use the hashtag #backyardchallenge on social media), in your neighborhood park, or from an apartment balcony or courtyard. You can also help with IDs for other people’s observations to increase our species count.
