SUMMARY:Science Saturday - "Diatoms: Jewels of the River"
DESCRIPTION: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. \nArt and science meet as you explore the colorful and wondrous microscopic world of water. Discover the complex and intricate beauty of these hidden single-celled algae called diatoms along with their contribution to water quality research. \nDiatoms have a glass-like silica cell wall that consists of two halves that elegantly fit together.  In the 19th century amateur scientists amused themselves by arranging them in intricate patterns\, in the 20th century\, famed woman ecologist Ruth Patrick pioneered the study of these small cells to study water pollution.

SUMMARY:Science Saturday – "A Day in the Life of the Schuylkill River: The Exploration Continues"
DESCRIPTION:Spring is a time when life in the stream comes alive. Macroinvertebrates are organisms that are big enough for you to see with the bare eye\, but without backbones. Mayflies\, water pennies\, caddisflies\, and stoneflies…scientists use these freshwater creatures as natural indicators of river health.  In our water lab\, act like a scientist to inspect and characterize your own virtual river sample. Do they have legs or shells? Are they “shredders”\, “grazers”\, or “collectors”? Learn all about these creatures during this family-friendly program.

SUMMARY:Sunday Selfie: Rachel Carson
DESCRIPTION:Take your photo with a renowned scientist – taking the history of science to a new dimension (2-D that is).  \nThis quarter\, come take your picture with a full-size image of Rachel Carson standing with her binoculars\, observing the natural world. On the main floor of the FWW\, and learn about her contributions to launching the modern environmental movement\, in particular with a copy of Silent Spring\, the book that awakened the concern of Americans for the environment. \nAbout Rachel Carson \n\nBorn May 27\, 1907\, in Springdale\, PA.\nWorld renowned marine biologist\, author\, and environmentalist.\nServed as editor-in-chief for the U.S. Fish & Wildlife Service.\nBest known for her fourth book\, Silent Spring\, which alerted the world to the environmental impact of fertilizers and pesticides and has been credited with launching the contemporary environmental movement and awakening the concern of Americans for the environment.\nAppointed a junior aquatic biologist with the Bureau of Fisheries and became one of only two women then employed with the Bureau at a professional level (1936).\nTestified before a Congressional committee after the federal government ordered a complete review of its pesticide policy.  As a direct result\, DDT was banned (1963).\nThe Fish & Wildlife Service named one of its refuges near Carson’s summer home on the coast of Maine as the Rachel Carson National Wildlife Refuge to honor the memory of this extraordinary woman (1969).\nRemembered as an early activist who worked to preserve the world for future generations.\n\nTake a selfie with this environmental she-ro\, and share it on Facebook\, Twitter\, and Instagram\, using the hashtag #FWWDiscover.\n \n

SUMMARY:Science Saturday – “A Day in the Life of the Schuylkill River: The Exploration Continues”
DESCRIPTION:Spring is a time when life in the stream comes alive. Macroinvertebrates are organisms that are big enough for you to see with the bare eye\, but without backbones. Mayflies\, water pennies\, caddisflies\, and stoneflies…scientists use these freshwater creatures as natural indicators of river health.  In our water lab\, act like a scientist to inspect and characterize your own virtual river sample. Do they have legs or shells? Are they “shredders”\, “grazers”\, or “collectors”? Learn all about these creatures during this family-friendly program.
