Today was the third day of STEMmersion. We didn't go on a field trip today, but we did still do fun things. At the beginning of the day, we started writing a poem about water. Later, we did stations to learn about how water is managed and purified in the city. This included learning about the cameras used to check if there's any damage to the water pipes. We also learned about how water is purified and cleaned from waste into water that can be drained into the Miami River. Something interesting that I learned today was that the entire Dayton area gets water from a 1.5 trillion gallon aquifer underneath the ground. This means that there isn't going to be a water crisis for us for a long time. We use the water from this aquifer and also put water back into it, otherwise known as recharging it. This helps sustain the water in it and makes sure we don't run out of the water.
After we did these stations, we finished the poems. You can read my groups below.

This is the water, moist and wet which flows onto the tree, brown and sticky, down onto the hill, large and grassy, leading into the mud, brown and squishy, into the sand, small and fine
This is the water, moist and wet which flows onto the tree, brown and sticky, down onto the hill, large and grassy, leading into the mud, brown and squishy, into the sand, small and fine, under the fish, lively and colorful.
