SUMMARY:Science Saturday: "The Schuylkill River & You!"
DESCRIPTION:Discover the many ways we are connected to the Schuylkill River\, and how we can protect these waters from the harmful effects of water pollution. \nRivers provide drinking water and a habitat for wildlife. Join us at the river’s edge as we explore our past and present relationship with the Schuylkill River in particular and our environmental impact. Activities include: \n\n“Fishing Around” – Survey the number of fish and species in your “river” to help determine how polluted it is.\n“Where Does the Water Go?” – Follow the journey of water from the river\, to our treatment plants\, and to your home!\n“Your Impact on the Schuylkill” – Learn how to reduce your carbon footprint by reducing the amount of trash you produce. Make the pledge to protect our river!

SUMMARY:Setting the Thanksgiving Water Table
DESCRIPTION:Water is part of everything we eat\, drink\, and use. Your traditional Thanksgiving recipes\, like one for pumpkin pie\, calls for little to no cups of water\, but from the time the pumpkin starts growing in the pumpkin patch to the moment it reaches your dinner table the pie you consumed uses almost  234 gallons of water to make. If a pie uses that much water\, to make\, then how much water does it take to create the feast that we indulge in on Thanksgiving Day? \nJoin us at the Fairmount Water Works for our Thanksgiving holiday pop-up activity. All visitors are invited to discover the incredible amounts of water that it takes for our holiday meal staples to reach the Thanksgiving table. Visitors will have the opportunity to create a plate with their own holiday meal favorites and calculate the “water footprint” of their individual feast.

SUMMARY:Choose Your Own Adventure
DESCRIPTION:Do you ever look back at key moments in history and think\, “I would’ve made a better choice”? We’ll test that assumption using a real-world scenario with local roots. \nPhiladelphia\, 1896: Typhoid fever has been running rampant in the city. The last few decades have seen nearly 16\,000 deaths from the terrible disease. Health professionals say polluted water is to blame\, but anticontagionists contend the water is pure and safe. \nAdd to that the manufacturing industries that have brought about a near environmental catastrophe by draining their waste into Philadelphia’s waterways\, and you have everything you need for a lively debate about how to make the city’s water safe. But what’s the best solution? Should the city build an expensive filtration plant or invest in a more cost-effective aqueduct system? \nJoin the Chemical Heritage Foundation for an after-hours gaming adventure where you’ll get to step into someone else’s shoes\, and—using your wits\, luck\, and all the best information available to you at that moment in history—see where your choices land you! \nAfterward\, toast to your success (or failure)\, and learn more about the history of Philadelphia’s waterways with representatives from the Fairmount Water Works. \nTickets for this event are $10 per person\, and registration is required. \nFor more information about this event\, contact Alexis Pedrick at 215.873.8293 or apedrick@sciencehistory.org. \nThis program is presented in partnership with the Fairmount Water Works\, as part of the upcoming Grid and Flow exhibition.
