their concerns in the beginning
was the garbage in the creek and

of garbage consisting mostly of
metal, weed guard and cans.

research
in
class

macroinvertebrates,
geology,
water quality, wildlife, and
vegetation. Gibbs plans to have a

"If the students design their

questions through a hands-on
curriculum then they tend to
internalize the concepts and
retain these experiences for long
periods of time," said Gibbs.
"This is a way to get students
