The students enjoyed the hands-on activities, and the percolation watershed and oil slick cleanup experiments were big hits with the students. A pre test and post test was administer to the students. The analysis was a paired T-test. The total N was 86 with a mean of 1.10, standard error of .48 and a T value of 2.26 with a p of .026. The results show that significant knowledge was gained during this program.
More time is needed to conduct experiments.
Concepts discussed in the program needed to be expanded into other curriculum areas. Project LEAD, Legal Education to Arrest Delinquency, is a way for students to learn about the law and decision-making. This program involves students in a series of 14 activities designed to help them better understand the need for laws, the role of the legal system, and their rights as juveniles. A pre and post test was administered to students in three schools. The third school results were not significant.
