SoundWaters raised the expectations for sixty girls in grades 3 through 7 who traded in their winter vacation for a week filled with hands-on science experiments and activities at the annual Science Stars program. The girls tested hypotheses, completed science journals and learned from real women scientists about career options they never had considered.
For those who wonder what Captain Justin Cathcart does in the winter,just take a look. He traded boat shoes for snowshoes to rake off the snow-covered roof at the SoundWaters Coastal Center,while dreaming of a warm summer wind at his back.

Stamford sixth grade science sleuths use their knowledge of the Long Island Sound watershed to figure out the source of several water samples. Students cracked the code by taking salinity, nitrate, and pH meaurements and matching the water samples to their source. Mystery solved!
