Abstract:
|
A successful program that integrates Freshwater Ecosystem studies in an elevation gradient in the Mt. Mitchell Watershed will be presented along with data that support increases in student enthusiasm, knowledge and interest in choosing a science career. This program is unique in that it incorporates backcountry camping and science data collection. The Center for Learning and Investigation in Backcountry Ecosystems (CLIMBE) is funded through a Burroughs Wellcome grant and run out of Montreat College in North Carolina. |

Abstract Recent science education reform proponents (Project 2061) explicitly put forward the ideas that increased knowledge and enthusiasm about science can be affected by field exercises. To address this need the author developed and implemented a field-based environmental science program focused on freshwater ecosystems that engaged students in real-world science. The purpose of the |
| means of student follow-up. However the data collected on participants show some strong indicators of the impact of hands-on science programming and field exercises on students’ knowledge enthusiasm and interest in science careers. CLIMBE will continue to serve students in Western North Carolina with a focus on water quality and now with additional funding from Burroughs Wellcome Fund is now adding new programs with a focus on climate. 5.
