Clean water is something that we take for granted in the United States. Each day, we turn on our faucets and assume that the water coming out is safe for us to drink. But is it? For the community of Flint, MI this assumption was rocked when they faced high lead levels after there was a change in the source of their water. Click the video below to learn about it: This problem was the basis for our Summer STEM Ignition PBL. During the week of June 6th, new students to STEM Lab and STEM Launch engaged with many learning opportunities to answer the question "How do we ensure our water is safe to drink?" During the week, we had guest speakers, conducted science experiments, went on a field experience to a waste water and drinking water facility and then created solutions to answer the problem. Click on THIS LINK to see what we did! On Friday, students presented to a panel of water quality experts. They introduced their solutions with a sales pitch and then showed an iMovie introduction to the solution. They then gave a detailed description of their prototype. Curious about other solutions? Check out our full playlist of iMovies HERE.
