My Students

For students to appreciate and protect the environment, they must have exposure to nature at many levels. My students attend an urban low income school where these opportunities are limited. My school plans to add Marine Biology to its science curriculum to expand students choices.

Despite attending an urban low income school, my students generally have a love of nature, especially animals and are generally enthusiastic about getting out and helping the environment.

Many of them loved science in elementary school and then started to lose interest as they entered high school. Classes like AP Environmental Science, Environmental Systems and Marine Biology reignite that spark by exposing them to the elements and experiences in science that once interested them before.

My Project

My students need a portable dissolved oxygen meter for field testing outside of the classroom. Portable lab equipment will allow me to take the class out of the classroom and into nature (our courtyards and local parks) where they can first hand test the water quality. We can also return samples of the water back to the classroom and build models of pollution, so they can test and see what effects daily activities can have on our water resources.

Most students enter "environmental" classes with pre-packaged notions about what pollutes and what happens when things are polluted.

They also believe that they have no bearing on what will happen next. By conducting field labs and demonstrating the difference a student can make, they learn more about themselves and become more empowered for their future.
