Classes will be able to visit the Amazon Canal twice over the course of the year to complete a stream reach survey. Data will be collected by conducting the survey and will then be shared between schools. Energy and Water Chemistry Projects EWEB grant funding enables middle school science teachers to design, develop and implement new water chemistry and energy curriculum in the 7th and 8th grades. All 8th grade classrooms are provided materials, supplies and training for the design and construction of electric and solar vehicles. Electrathon Vehicles Industry and Engineering CAM students at Willamette High School build full size electric vehicles to use in competition.
Students race their vehicles against other high school students and engineers throughout the year.
Willamette Watershed Project High School students will conduct a wide range of measurement and assessment activities regarding watersheds and water quality. Students need to understand how watersheds operate and are managed in order to make wise choices about how they themselves and society will affect the health of our watersheds. They learn this by conducting enhancement projects, collecting, analyzing, and reporting data, and teaching younger students. Applications can be found online and are due by November 9, 2001. PV project Willamette High School has installed a fixed 2.4 KW photovoltaic system on the roof of the school.
