Project: Adopt-A-School
Every semester a group of NYWEA members visit the local middle and high schools to teach students about environmental science and engineering. Clarkson students take one class period and have students participate in experiments that are relevant to water quality.
Here are some pictures from a previous visit to the Potsdam High school (2004 Spring Semester).
Angela Link (NYWEA president '02) is teaching a pH experiment using red cabbage as pH indicator.
Jessica Murphy is directing the density experiment.
