Marigold Marsh

Riff visits Brightwater Corners every summer. Over the years he has observed many changes in Marigold Marsh. Visitors help Riff: figure out the sources of the marsh's pollution and how to stop future pollution at Clean It Up, investigate Brightwater Corners' water quality at Mucky Waters, and clean Mr. Slaptail's water at the 3-D Water Puzzle.

Clean it up - Remove pollutants from the water before they reach Riff and Rosie's swimming hole.

Fishing for Clues - Use fishing poles to fish out clues to why the marsh is polluted.

Mucky Waters - Gather samples from the well and take them to the analyzer to investigate what is in Brightwater Corners' water.

Fillin' Up Riff - Turn the handle and watch the water beads move from the drinking glasses to Riff's body.

Resource Center - Enjoy a book from the "My Health, My World" series or play the board game "We're All a Little Different on the Inside".

Water Puzzle - Use 3-D puzzle pieces to move water from the lake to the water treatment plant and then to Mr. Slaptail's bathtub.

Bio Build Up - Learn how animals are affected by water pollution by playing this game.

The My Home, Planet Earth exhibit, based on the My World educational series, was created in partnership with Baylor College of Medicine.
