High School
Students to Explore Penn State Water Science
The Cameron County
Conservation District collaborated with Penn State Extension Water Resources
Educator, Jim Clark, to secure a seventy-nine hundred dollar grant from the
Headwaters Research, Conservation, and Development Council
The grant funds,
which must be executed in the Sinnemahoning Watershed, will pay for a water
science youth program. Several high school students from the Cameron County High
School will be given the opportunity to work with Penn State Water Scientists to
collect water samples from the Emporium, PA, area. The samples will be analyzed
for emerging contaminants and several other parameters.
The students will then
have the opportunity to travel to Penn State, visit the Penn State Water Lab and
the actual emerging contaminates research lab where their water samples will be
analyzed. The selected students will be asked to develop a PowerPoint
presentation on the issue of emerging contaminates in water and what they have
learned during the project. The PowerPoint will be shared with other high school
students and the Cameron County community.
What a good way to
keep our youth involved in Cameron County !
