Students around the world study a local water habitat. They collect data, a suggested list is provided, and share their findings with others. The idea is to promote understanding of the various impacts on water habitats and to take action to improve and sustain quality habitats based on scientific understandings. This project includes mentoring from a university environmental scientist.

Students learn which materials work best for filtering water so it can be recycled. They create and test their own simple water filtration system and discuss how astronauts filter their water.
