The Everhart Museum presents Everhart SPARCS: Raising Awareness about Water in the Ecosystem, open through December 31, 2010.
The Gallery One exhibit Everhart SPARCS: Raising Awareness about Water in the Ecosystem is a community-based project highlighting collaborative science education programs with Audubon Elementary School and Howard Gardner School of Discovery. Over the course of the 2009-2010 school year, students engaged in a hands-on program focused on how all forms of life depend on water for survival. Both in the classroom and at the Museum, they learned about conservation issues and how they can make a difference. In addition to projects at the Everhart, the students explored local water resources including Nay Aug Gorge, learned about recycling and pollution control, and visited Lackawanna State Park. Partial underwriting for this exhibit was provided by a grant from Pennsylvania American Water.
The Everhart Museum is the largest public museum in Northeastern Pennsylvania. The Museum is located in Nay Aug Park in Scranton. The Everhart Museum exists for the benefit of the public, and the visitors to the Museum represent a cross section of the population as a whole.
