The University of Colorado Boulder hosts a hands-on mini wastewater treatment plant activity at its online TeachEngineering Digital Library. It helps high school students learn how water is purified through a simple, step-by-step experiment.
The library has more than 3.4 million users around the world. The university provides educators with lesson plans, worksheets and a list of materials needed to create the mini-wastewater treatment plant, all at no cost.
The activity is part of the university’s TeachEngineering program, which since 2004 has promoted science activities to encourage students to pursue engineering studies and careers.
