VIRTUAL Summer Science Series: Welcome to the Water System (ages 7-12)

Join the Metropolitan Waterworks Museum’s education staff from home via Zoom to learn about all of the different parts of the Water System!

Make a “Crumpled Paper” model Watershed to learn about how polluted runoff can affect our drinking water, take a virtual tour of the museum’s Great Engine’s Hall to learn how water is moved across great distances, and finish off by making your own “map” of a Water System.

This is an ONLINE class hosted on the Zoom platform. After booking, you will receive a link to access the class.

For the model watershed activity, participants will need two white sheets of paper, a red, blue, green, and brown washable marker, a cup/bowl or spray bottle full of water, and a towel or tray to do the activity over to prevent a mess.

For the Water System Map, participants will need scissors, a glue stick (or glue bottle), tape, paper, crayons, and if available, a brass fastener or ‘brad’ (if brad is unavailable, you will need scrap paper, tape, and a sharp pencil). You will also need print outs of the Water Cycle and Waterworks sheets that will be sent to you.

To see more virtual sessions in this series, check Tuesdays at 10 am in July on our events calendar.
