B4333: Food, food everywhere, but is it safe to eat? in Splash Spring 2015 (Apr. 11 - 12, 2015)
Come to this session where you can learn more about some of the primary causes of produce contamination that occur as your food goes from "farm to table." We'll also discuss some of the many stakeholders responsible for keeping our food safe and methods for preventing/reducing food contamination. All of these ideas will be further explored through a full-group role-playing game.


E3212: Engineering clean water- figuring out filtration in Splash! Fall 2013 (Nov. 02 - 03, 2013)
We will be teaching about water contamination and processes that are used to treat water to make it safe for drinking. The activity will allow students to design filters to clean water that is visibly dirty (i.e. turbid). We will split the students into groups of 3-4, and they will have the opportunity to make filters out of different materials to clean the water.
