Science Saturday – “Living La Vida Micro in the Schuylkill River”

Drop in every Saturday between 2-4 pm, and together, we’ll explore different aspects of our environment during fun and interactive sessions in our water lab.

You can see many living organisms that call the Schuylkill River home – e.g., ducks, fish, turtles, and aquatic plants. But there is a whole watery world you cannot see with the naked eye. Come and collect a water sample full of microscopic organisms and view them under the microscope. Learn to identify them and find out why they are so important to river ecology.
