Waterworks Preschool Summer Series
Water and the Three States of Matter
June 25, 2020
10:00 AM–10:45 AM
It’s once again time for our Preschool Summer Series! This year, since the museum will not be able to open for visitors until at least the end of June, we will be running several sessions of our preschool series online through the Zoom platform.
Join the Metropolitan Waterworks Museum’s education staff to learn about water and the three states of matter!
First, we will read from Change it! Solids, Liquids, Gases and You! Then, we will learn how molecules act in each state with a movement-based game. Finally, we will create paintings with ice cubes! Recommended for ages 3-6. You can purchase a $4 ticket for this session at: https://www.eventbrite.com/e/waterworks-museum-preschool-summer-series-water-and-the-3-states-of-matter-tickets-106135207262
Given the virtual nature of these fun and hands-on educational STEM programs, participants will need to assemble some materials from home to fully experience each program. Check the description of the program before signing up to make sure you have everything you need! Once you have purchased a ticket, you will be sent a link to access the session through Zoom and any materials that need to be printed at home.
If you have any questions about the Preschool Summer Series, please feel free to email our education manager Tracy at tracy.lindboe@waterworksmuseum.org.
Great Engines Hall
The centerpiece of the Waterworks Museum is its collection of steam engines. Three original coal-powered, steam-driven water pumps are preserved at the Museum and are monuments to 19th century technology and innovation. Leavitt, Worthington, and Allis stand in the Great Engines Hall and reach more than 3 stories tall. Walk around each and see the multitude of perfectly engineered parts that pumped million gallons of freshwater a day into the City of Boston.
