Walk on Water Bugs!

Students at the Bassett Community Center and the Spencer Penn Center learned about water quality and water bugs in the Walk On Water Bugs program.

Each group builds their own water bugs (out of paper clips) that will actually float on water due to the surface tension.



They then see what happens when dirt is added and then soap, to see if the bugs still float.


The kids built their own filters to see if they could clean the dirty, soapy water.
