About This Lesson

Investigate how water travels through city sewers and impacts the environment. Then, experiment to address urban flooding and pollution.

------

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?
