Students work in teams of four to complete projects which focus on some aspect of the Earth system.
Teams use the scientific tools and techniques of chemistry, math, physics, modeling, data visualization, simulation and electronic publishing. Students completed ten research projects, gave oral presentations and created hyperlinked, multimedia reports. Gave presentations and workshops on Ecologica at numerous conferences including the American Geophysical Union 75th Annual meeting, the U.S. Global Change Education Conference, and Supercomputing '93. In August, ECOlogic held the first summer immersion project for high school and university Earth System Science teachers, conducted at Gonzaga College High School. The development and dissemination of the Ecologica curriculum will enable new academic communities to begin providing programs focused on multidisciplinary Earth system science education.
