An educator from the CT River Museum of Essex, CT will work with children ages 7-11 through a hands-on interactive program on Tuesday, July 26 at 11 a.m.  Students track the water cycle to learn where pollution comes from and how to clean it up. After creating a polluted “river in a jar”, they use the scientific method and a variety of simple tools to develop and test strategies to clean their “river.” This program demonstrates the importance of water quality and the challenges in protecting our watersheds.
