Environmental Student Organization is hosting an exhibit on March 26th!

Synopsis: Have you ever thought about what happens to water once it goes down the drain? If you said YES come by the Environmental Student Organization booth to make your own "wastewater" and to learn how wastewater is treated in the United States.

The Environmental Student Organization is hosting an activity on wastewater treatment. We plan on having a few posters to describe some of the basics of how water is treated. We also will have an activity where the kids mix "waste material" (such as coffee grounds, soil, food scraps, etc) into water and then they will have to figure out the best way to make the water clean again. For cleaning the water we will use spoons, straws, coffee filters, etc. Once the kids try to figure out on their own how water is cleaned we will talk about how the water is actually treated.
