    Water Treatment

    Water Treatment

    This week on The Children’s Hour, where does our tap water come from, and where does it end up when we flush or wash it down the drain? Our water system is circular, from the Rio Grande and back again. In the meantime, it goes through pipes to homes, and down the drains when it's dirty. How do they clean it for drinking, and then clean it again after it's gross? And what role do tardigrades play? We learn about Water Treatment with the Albuquerque Bernalillo County Water Utility Authority's education director, Erin Keck.

    Kid Pan Alley

    Kid Pan Alley

    Kid Pan Alley is an organization that empowers kids around the United States to write their own songs. We’re joined this time on The Children’s Hour by Paul and Cheryl Reisler who have written more than 2,500 songs with more than 70,000 children over the last 30 years.



    Paul and Cheryl Reisler spend the hour with our Kids Crew sharing songs, and giving us a mini demonstration of how they work inside schools. We learn about rhythm and exploration of our ideas.



    We hear dozens of examples of Kid Pan Alley songs from a handful of the many schools the organization has worked with over their many decades.



    This episode was produced by Executive Producer Katie Stone with help from Senior Producer Christina Stella and Education Director Lorraine Archibald. Recorded in 2022 at the Sunspot Solar Studio in Albuquerque, New Mexico.
