Aquatic Crusader's Tasks


Become an Aquatic Crusader and join Darby Duck in the fight against water pollution!

What is the Crusaders' weapon?!? UNDERSTANDING! Understanding the characteristics of water, that precious resource we are trying to protect. And understanding how it interacts with other elements in the environment, some of which pollute it and cause problems for people and animals.


How do you become an Aquatic Crusader? There are seven experiments for you to try (left) that will teach you the characteristics of water. When you complete all seven of the Aquatic Crusader tasks, consider yourself one of Darby's Crusaders too!
