The Soil and Water Conservation Society will be exhibiting at March 20th!

Exhibit title: "H20 Olympics"

Water is our lifeline on Earth. Not only is it important to learn about what makes it special to our planet, but it is fun as well! Through a friendly "Olympic" style competition, students will learn the nature of the water molecule. In each of four events, participants will demonstrate water's unique cohesive and adhesive properties. See how many drops of water you can you can put on a penny, or how many paperclips you can suspend on the surface of the water!

The Virginia Tech Soil and Water Conservation Society (SWCS) is a student chapter of the National Soil and Water Conservation Society. SWCS is a nonprofit organization that advocates the protection, enhancement, and wise use of soil, water, and related natural resources. Our student chapter engages in a variety of service and social activities throughout the year, including biomonitoring at local streams, environmental education workshops, stream clean-ups, community outreach, and other conservation projects. This KTU activity is taken from the Project WET curriculum & activity guide.
