Every 6th grade student at King Low Heywood Thomas is engaged in a rigorous, hands-on year long environmental science and service learning program with SoundWaters. Using scientific field equipment all students have performed water quality experiments including turbidity, soil filtration and analysis of samples to determine clarity, pH levels and flow rate. Students also learned what animals […]
SoundKids students determine which objects are living or non-living, sink or float and what form and function is all about in the SoundWaters multi-week science program.
