Solanco High School students recently visited Quarryville Elementary School, where they buddied up with fourth-graders to help them conduct a STEM (science, technology, engineering, and math) experiment that related to the fourth-graders' environment/ecology unit. Teacher Lauren Dupler noted that the students learned about groundwater infiltration and were tasked with crafting a filter that used earth materials to purify dirty water.
There was also a discussion about how people in some countries do not have access to clean drinking water. Students used electronic tablets and laptops to research current inventions that are used around the world to help with this problem. They then worked in teams to sketch their own designs for their own invention.
