Hands-on in the RMSC Carlson Inquiry Room
What’s in your water? In this program, students will learn real strategies and tools used by scientists to protect our planet’s water, and the creatures that live in it from many types of pollution. Roll out an oil boom and send out some sorbents as you clean up an oil spill, use different solvents and techniques to rescue animals from polluted waters, and explore the challenges and possibilities of plastic pollution retrieval with density-based models. Learn how you can be a part of local and global efforts to clean up our waterways, from reducing your pollution footprint to advocating for your community’s right to clean water!
