Aquiary

Yesterday, we went here to the Loudoun County Aquiary. Follow the link to learn more. We learned a lot about how our water sanitation facility works, how much water people use, what kinds of household chemicals should not go down our drains, and how valuable water is around the world. Here are some pictures from our adventure:

Here, the boys are guessing how much water it takes to do everyday tasks such as flushing a toilet, taking a shower, watering your yard. Once they guessed, they were able to press a button in the sink and the correct amount of gallons would light up on the shower door. Very cool.





At this exhibit, the boys learned how
valuable it is to have a clean water source and readily available water. They are trying to lift these buckets filled with water, which are commonly carried for miles by children all around the world. As you can see, they found it quite difficult and were thankful for faucets in their house to get clean, fresh water.
