Have you ever stopped to think about where your water comes from, or perhaps how we know it’s safe to drink, swim in, or use every day? That’s exactly what World Water Monitoring Day is all about! Celebrated each year on September 18th, this day inspires communities around the globe to roll up their sleeves, test their local water sources, and learn why protecting them matters.
While teachers, parents and students (some of which are you) are getting acclimated to the new school year, our center has been working diligently over the past few months with educators to schedule field trip visits for this fall and next spring. And the best part? It’s all FREE!
June marks the official start of summer – and one of the most fascinating astronomical events of the year: the summer solstice. This annual milestone happens when Earth’s tilt is at its maximum toward the sun, giving the Northern Hemisphere its longest day and shortest night of the year. This year, the summer solstice arrives on June 20th at 3:50 p.m. CDT.
