Group Projects ...This assignment will be a significant portion of our program. You will have a choice in the type and specifics of your project. This assignment will be discussed in detail on Wednesday of week one with a written handout provided. All groups are expected to present at the Evergreen Science Carnival on either Friday May 30th, or Saturday May 31st. Missing the presentation at the Science Carnival will result in loss of credit. So, be sure to set one of these two days aside to enable your participation.(Detailed Assignment Description)

From the Laboratory... Hands-on laboratory work is an essential part of any science exploration. As we study complex and diverse topics associated with river restoration the scientific laboratory will come into play for our investigation of fluid properties and electricity. Both of these experiments will be posted to the web and it is your responsibility to print out a copy. It is important that you bring this lab packet, with the completed PRELAB assignment, with you to your lab session. Safety in the lab is important to us. All students must complete the laboratory safety session and the laboratory safety quiz to work in the lab setting. A copy of the laboratory safety manual can be found online. See the schedule page to find the date of our laboratory safety session.
