Should you drink bottled water instead of tap water? Should you filter your tap water? How safe is tap water in the greater Cincinnati area? How can we get safe, clean drinking water to victims of natural disasters and those in need in third-world countries?
You and your friends are invited to the Bier Stube Room of the Haufbrauhaus in Newport, Kentucky, to discuss these and other water questions at an American Chemical Society, Cincinnati Section, Science Cafe on Wednesday, October 22, 2008, at 6pm.
Join fellow chemical educators for a night of sharing - demonstrations, laboratory activities, teaching strategies, and motivational strategies on Tuesday evening, September 30th, at Summit Country Day School. We gather at 6:30 PM for light refreshments and social time. The program will begin at 7 PM and conclude by 9 PM. Come to share and to receive. Most importantly, bring along new colleagues! We will meet in the classroom of Ed Escudero. Directions to the school campus, parking, and Ed’s classroom can be found below.
