Dive into the fascinating world of oysters and their incredible role as the ocean’s natural filtration system! This program combines an engaging classroom session with a hands-on experiment where participants will select materials to design and build their own water filtration systems. Using their creations, they’ll test "contaminated water" to see how effectively their filters remove impurities, mirroring the work of these remarkable shellfish in the wild.
