Name: Water Filtration
Theme: Water
Age Range: 16+
Time Needed: 100 min

Name: Rust in the North
Theme: Water
Age Range: 16+
Time Needed: 20 - 30 minutes prep & introduction; 7 days to observe experiment 
Description: Students will look at the chemistry of rust and electrochemical cells to see how it can impact mining structures surrounding the NWT and how it can pose threat to the NWT environment.

Theme: Water
Age Range: 5-11yrs
Time Needed: 45min
