Summer Science Series – Filter Build Challenge
June 29, 2022
1:30 pm–2:30 pm
Join Waterworks Museum education staff live at the museum as we explore different filter media and make our own water filters. After reviewing several different filter media, participants will work to build a water filter that can produce the largest amount of clean water possible in 30 seconds. Then, we will discuss some modern methods of cleaning and disinfecting water both in the Boston waterworks system and around the world. This program is recommended for ages 7-12 and is free of charge, suggested donation $5. Face coverings are recommended but not required. Help us plan by reserving your free tickets in advance.

Moving Water: From Ancient Innovations to Modern Challenges
Ancient civilizations engineered water systems that sustained communities for thousands of years. This exhibition spotlights six places that innovated ways to deliver, and control water for human use. It also looks at how climate change is impacting all of those places, forcing public officials to consider new ways to keep the water flowing.
