Water Filtration Activity (Ages 7-12)

This Event Presented By:

Although water covers 73% of the Earth’s surface, only 3% of it is fresh water. Most of the Earth’s freshwater is frozen in glaciers, found deep underground, or otherwise inaccessible for use. Luckily, water is a renewable resource! Join us to make a water filter and learn about water contamination sources, the water cycle, and water filtration.

Let’s Talk Great Lakes: Invasive Species

The Great Lakes are five lakes in North America that are all freshwater lakes. This freshwater makes up 20 per cent of the world’s surface freshwater.

Four of these lakes are located in Ontario Canada: Lake Huron, Lake Ontario, Lake Erie, and Lake Superior. Lake Michigan is the only great lake that is entirely in the United States of America. These lakes are extremely important for aquatic life, ecosystems, drinking water, irrigation, as well as transportation. Invasive species, pollution, habitat destruction, as well as climate change are having significant impacts on these lakes.

This initiative is to highlight these issues, potential career opportunities associated with the Great Lakes, as well as to give hands-on opportunities to high school students in the aquatic and terrestrial fieldwork that is performed in and around these lakes.
