We are pleased to announce the SPEA Environment 99 Summer Programs for High
School Students (July 11 - 17, 1999) and High School Teachers (July 18 - 24,
1999). This is the second year for the student program, and the first year
for the teacher program. Although we have people enrolled in each course,
there is still some room for more participants in both programs. Thus, we
have extended the deadline to June 15th. If you know of high school
students or teachers who may be interested, please pass the information on.
For your convenience, more information and the application form is attached

However, here's some brief information:
Environment '99
July 11-17
High school students who will be sophomores, juniors, or seniors in the fall
of '99 are eligible for the workshop. Students will work with faculty and
staff both in labs and in the field to explore the positive and negative
impacts we as human beings have on environmental systems by:
* Learning to define wetland areas and map ecosystems at Griffy Lake;
* Studying forest ecosystems at Brown County State Park and learning how
many deer are too many;
* Finding out about solid waste management and reduction techniques at the
local (Anderson Road) Landfill; and
* Measuring levels of iron and determine leaching problems at the IU water
ponds.
The cost is $285 per student, with a limited number of scholarships for
those who qualify.
Environmental Education '99
July 18-24
Environmental Education '99 is for high school and middle school science
teachers. Teachers will experience hands-on projects, from a student
perspective, to aid in supplementing current environmental education
curriculum. Areas to be covered include:
* Determining the characteristics of a biological or legally protected
wetland and its impact on life;
* Exploring coal mining pollution through on-site analysis;
* Collecting macroinvertebrate populations from streams to see if they
indicate water quality as good or bad; and
* Hands-on experiences modeled after Project WILD aquatic curricula.
The cost is $325 per teacher plus cost of credit hours. Teachers may take
this course for 0-3 credit hours which can be used for continuing education
credits through Indiana University.
Please print the application and mail it by June 15th with a $50
non-refundable deposit to: Summer Workshops, School of Public and
Environmental Affairs,
Room 240 1315 E. Tenth St. Indiana University, Bloomington, IN 47405-1701
