GRAHAMSVILLE, NY — The Time and the Valleys Museum now hosts a new field trip on water and the history of New York City’s water supply system, available to all schools.

This interactive field trip immerses students in the importance of water to all life, and the history of how water has changed both the environment and our culture over thousands of years. Guided by trained museum educators, the two-and-a-half-hour program provides in-depth information in a fun way to help stimulate a student’s learning. Tying into the Common Core Curriculum, math, language arts, science and social studies all join together as students dig a water tunnel, build a dam, play games and do activities.

The program is available year round, for third to eighth grade students, and from a minimum of 15 to a maximum of 100 students at a time. The cost is $5 per student, with teachers and chaperones free. A comprehensive pre-visit information packet and activity sheets are also included. Call 845/985-7700 or email info@timeandthevalleysmuseum.org.
