My students are in 7th and 8th grade. They are involved in a program called Creek Connections. There are about 75 7th graders and 20 8th graders involved in this program. The 8th graders that are involved were in the program in 7th grade and come back for a second year to "teach" the new 7th graders how to do the chemical and biological testing at the stream. These students attend school in a suburban area that has a great deal of urban characteristics. Most of our students are rather out of touch with nature and many of them "suffer" from Nature Deficit Disorder - so I use this opportunity to get my students outside and learning about the environment that surrounds them where they live.
