Washington University’s Center For Water Innovation

We are partnering with the Center For Water Innovation and EnvESA (Environmental Engineering Students Association) at Washington University in St. Louis to co-facilitate a hands-on water education program for 5th grade students in the School District of University City. Following an in-classroom water treatment experiment led by WashU graduate students, 5th graders enjoy an Aquarium field trip, where students learn about human impact on the Mississippi River and witness the importance of water quality to aquatic ecosystems, first-hand! Through this interdisciplinary partnership, 5th grade students are challenged to hypothesize a solution to the human impact on water resources and the environment, and participate in STEM-based, educational programing that meets the Missouri Learning Standards and Next Generation Science Standards.
