EVENT
Preschool Summer Series – Sink or Float?
June 23, 2022
10:00 am–10:45 am
Join the Metropolitan Waterworks Museum’s education staff to learn about what kinds of objects sink or float! First, we will read What Floats in a Moat. Then, we will test a wide range of household items to see if they sink or float (or both!). Finally, we’ll use what we learned to create our own boats. This program is recommended for ages 3-6 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.
