The LaMotte's advanced water monitoring kit will provide the opportunity for all 6-12 students at Heritage Community Charter School to monitor various freshwater sites to assess quality and pollution. Ms. Cull says that students will conduct on-site field testing, design and conduct independent research projects, and apply to Seimen's wecanchange.com contest for scholarships and awards. She believes the activities will provide the opportunity to engage students who don't find science relevant to real life, increase inclusion of special needs students, and enrich the education of gifted science students. Connnecting students to nature is a key to sparking interest in science and because the local area of the school is surrounded by agriculture and protected public lands, Ms. Cull considers it the perfect region to study the effects of man on the environment.
