3rd Grade Dives into Water Treatment at Fairfax Water!

3rd graders took a deep dive into the world of water treatment with a fascinating field trip to the Fairfax Water facility in Lorton! This immersive experience brought their science lessons to life and gave them a firsthand look at how clean water is delivered to our homes and schools.

Connecting perfectly with their recent water cycle unit, the trip allowed students to see the real-world application of the concepts they'd been learning in the classroom. They toured the facility, witnessing the intricate processes involved in cleaning and distributing water from local sources.

From filtration and purification to pumping and distribution, students were amazed by the journey water takes before it reaches their faucets. It was an eye-opening experience that sparked curiosity and a deeper appreciation for the importance of clean water in our daily lives.
