Contact Name: Keith Olive (OliveKeith@ysd.wednet.edu)

School Name: Wilson Middle School

Date Completed: Winter 2000-2001

Details: The entire class chose to investigate soil sampling in the Yakima area. Their presentation used PowerPoint slides (by focusing the camera on a laptop) and explained how they determined sites to sample, their sampling technique, how they kept track of their data, their results to date and the direction their research would take during the rest of the school year.
