Portland-Vancouver area middle school and high school teachers have a unique opportunity to participate in a research project focusing on air quality in the region. Dramatic population shifts in our region have resulted in increasing emissions that have altered the composition of our airshed. In a 4-week Summer Research Institute teachers will learn how to monitor, analyze and model the changes in the atmosphere and how to bring this on-going research project into the classroom. Institute participants will receive a daily stipend, development funds, graduate science credit and atmospheric monitoring equipment for their schools. The Horizons Project is sponsored by the National Science Foundation and the Center for Science Education at Portland State University. For more information and application materials, please contact Linda George at 503-725-3861 or georgeL@pdx.edu The Horizons Project is currently in the middle of its first year.
