Hands-On Science

How do we know if the water in the Schuylkill River is healthy? Join FWWIC staff in collecting water samples from the river to test the water quality. Use a plankton net to sample microorganisms and view with a microscope. Try to identify them and make a sketch to take home! Recommended for families with children at least 6 years old. Free.
