Because Hydromania! includes almost 200 pages of lesson plans and information about ecology, they are separated into four even groups. That way, if you are interested in only one or two pages, you are not forced to download so much information. Below, you will find a table of contents for each section. If you see something of interest, just click on the heading of that section, and it will download to your computer (Note: To view these files, you will need Adobe Acrobat, which can be downloaded for free from the Adobe web site.).
