Contact Name: Joanie Bankson (banksonj@chelanschools.org)

School: Chelan Middle School

Date Completed: Spring 2005

Details: A Jeopardy-style game show format was used to present facts on water pollution sources in Lake Chelan. Three teams of two "contestants" each answered questions in six categories, including the sources of pollution, the effects on the lake, and concerns of residents regarding the pollution. A "host" read the questions and the teams answered without consulting any notes &endash; impressive! The possible solutions for decreasing pollution in the lake were gone over as the "final question", which was an effective technique for ending the presentation.
