A Basic Need: Clean Water
Our young scientists in grades 2–4 explored the importance of access to clean water in the STEM Lab! After reading "The Water Princess" by Susan Verde, students learned about the real-life challenges many people face around the world just to find safe drinking water. Through hands-on exploration, they put their engineering skills to work—testing different materials to design and build their own water filters.
