Killer Snails on Science Friday!
We were thrilled to partner with Science Friday to create “Down the Drain: How Water Journeys Through City Sewers” a free environmental science activity! Based on the content we designed for WaterWays. Children ponder questions like “Why do some neighborhoods flood when it rains? What happens to water after it goes down the drain? And what does that water carry? How does so much plastic pollution end up on shorelines? Could these things all be connected?”
The resource launched on July 12th, and by July 16th we’d heard that our resource was the #3 educational Science Friday resource for the week, which is incredible! Apparently the top two are always binary code and paper airplanes, so #3 is a really, really strong response!
We at Killer Snails have been huge Science Friday fans for years and this is not the first time we’ve partnered! In 2017, our Chief Scientist and CoFounder Dr. Mandë Holford was featured in a Breakthrough: The Killer Snail Chemist. Science Friday is a fantastic organization and we hope that you will check out some of the amazing content they create!
