School: Wenatchee High School

Date Completed: Winter 2003

Details: A biology class from Wenatchee High School did research on the use of pesticides and the effects on human health. They also included information on converting an orchard to organic status. A planned video wouldn't work correctly, but their PowerPoint did work after initial troubles. They included information gathered from an interview with an organic orchardist and with a teenage student who had been affected by pesticides sprayed at a nearby orchard during a track practice at school.
