Snack-Sized Science: Don't Be Salty

EarthEcho invites you to play along with us during “Snack-Sized Science”. These brief and interactive science demos with the EarthEcho team are meant to help your young-learners get excited to investigate the fascinating world of SCIENCE and hopefully explore more of EarthEcho’s digital resources...maybe even on their own! Join EarthEcho as we explore the water cycle and desalination. During this demonstration, you can follow along and set up your own backyard water cycle/desalination experiment. Learn how water moves on our planet and how to remove salt from saltwater to get fresh water!
