Water connects us all. On March 22, join ScienceWorks for a day of hands-on experiences as we celebrate World Water Day and explore the science, stewardship, and wonder of freshwater.

With our new immersive exhibit, Ripple Effect: Hands-On with Hydrodynamics, water’s movement comes to life through interactive play and experimentation. Inside and outside the museum, you’ll investigate how water shapes our landscapes, supports ecosystems, and sustains our communities.

Build your own DIY water filtration system using household materials. Engineer a beaver dam and discover why these busy ecosystem engineers matter. Create a salmon stream and explore why healthy waterways are essential for fish and for us. At the Exploration Station, experience a cloud-in-a-bottle demonstration and see the water cycle unfold before your eyes.

We’re proud to welcome local organizations working every day to protect and restore our region’s waterways, including KS Wild / Rogue Riverkeeper, Southern Oregon Land Conservancy, The Freshwater Trust, Rogue River Watershed Council, Rogue Valley Council of Governments, and Jackson Soil & Water Conservation District. Many partners will offer hands-on activities and interactive learning opportunities for all ages.

Food trucks will be on site with tasty options available for purchase, so you can refuel between experiments and exploration.

Whether you’re turning a water wheel, filtering sediment, or imagining solutions to global water challenges, you’ll leave with a deeper appreciation for water and the people who care for it.

Let your curiosity flow. Join us March 22 from 10 AM to 3 PM — and make a splash!
