This study was conducted in a JASON Project class, an eighth grade exploratory course at Laingsburg Middle School. The JASON project includes a unit entitled “Local Field Investigation” that encourages students to study their local watershed. I developed and tested materials to help students become aware of why water is important to our way of life and how we can determine the quality of water in our local area. The objective for this unit, to introduce students to water quality, required development of hands-on laboratory and field activities, as well as of written assessments to determine students' knowledge of the corresponding content. The students were tested prior to the unit and at the conclusion of the unit in the form of a pre- and post-test.Subjects--Topical Terms:

520 $a This study was conducted in a JASON Project class, an eighth grade exploratory course at Laingsburg Middle School. The JASON project includes a unit entitled “Local Field Investigation” that encourages students to study their local watershed. I developed and tested materials to help students become aware of why water is important to our way of life and how we can determine the quality of water in our local area. The objective for this unit, to introduce students to water quality, required development of hands-on laboratory and field activities, as well as of written assessments to determine students' knowledge of the corresponding content. The students were tested prior to the unit and at the conclusion of the unit in the form of a pre- and post-test.
520 $a Research was conducted in each of four terms, in rotating 9-week classes, with a new set of students each term. Due to weather restrictions, two of the four class groups used the river site. This thesis compares the two terms that studied the river three times (1<super>st</super> and 4<super>th</super> terms) with those that did not study the river (2<super>nd</super> and 3<super> rd</super> terms).
520 $a At the conclusion of this unit, both groups of students, those studying the river and those not studying the river, showed improvement from the pre-test to the post-test. The group that studied at the river did significantly better than the group not studying at the river on the post-test short answer questions.
