Department: Biological Systems Engineering (BSE)

Host: Lisa Janovsky (President of Virginia Tech Chapter)

The Soil and Water Conservation Society promotes soil and water sustainability through save our streams activities, educational workshops, water education training and outreach in local schools and the surrounding community. At Kids' Tech University, we proudly present our activity:

H₂0 Olympics!

The students will compete in Water Olympics to learn about two important properties of water: adhesion and cohesion. The unique properties of water allow essential processes to occur in everyday life including movement of blood throughout the body and a water striders ability to skate on water! In four interactive activities titled Balance Beam, Pole Vaulting, Backstroke and Slalom the students will explore and learn how precious water really is to the environment and more specifically to their everyday lives!
