Cleanwater Heroes
The IWPCA is pleased to
announce that it is making its presentation of Cleanwater Heroes available to
its members. This interactive activity has been presented annually at the Iowa
Children’s Water Festival to rave reviews.
Colorful tarps of various
shapes and sizes are used to represent treatment equipment and structures at an
activated sludge facility. Students are assigned roles as various parameters
present in wastewater. They then travel through an imaginary wastewater
treatment plant and learn about the processes used to clean the water before its
release back into the environment.
IWPCA members are encouraged to
introduce this learning activity in their local schools. It is aimed at the
upper elementary school levels of 4th - 6th grades and can
easily be presented by 2-3 people for each class of up to 25 participants.
Interested parties should contact Jim McElvogue,
jmcelvogue@city.ames.ia.us, or (515) 232-7423, for more information.
