Drinking water and wastewater (British Columbia)
Water treated properly!
Where does the water go when a toilet is flushed? Together, we will be able to answer this intriguing question using a multimedia presentation of a water filtration and purification plant and participation in a large-scale activity where youths will save LEGO mini-figures from drowning when they take a shower! They will learn the importance of taking care of this essential natural resource by creating their own drinking water and wastewater circuits. They’ll be sure to turn the taps off the next time they’re brushing their teeth!
For 30 more minutes:
If appropriate facilities are available, we will do a tour of the school’s sewer system!
