Project: Wildfire Effect on the environment

Contact Name: Scott Benner (benner.s@mail.wsd.wednet.edu)

School: Wenatchee High School

Date Completed: Fall 2000

Details: A group of four students used a large display board to guide their lecture-style portion of the presentation. They spoke about what they had learned in their research into how forest fires affect human health, including examples of local fires and an interview with a smoke jumper. The group dressed in matching, specially-made T-shirts, fire-chief hats and concluded by singing a song they wrote to the tune of "Old McDonald".
