RiverQuest
School Field Study Testimonials

"I like the emphasis on integrating the RiverQuest experience into the rest of the classwork."
— High School Teacher

"I learned how to take pH, temperature, and other tests first hand and did them myself and used them myself instead of someone else telling me 'how to.'"
— Student

"I had a chance to analyze something real for a larger purpose than simply illustrating an idea taught in class... While I certainly knew that chemistry and biology could go together, it never really dawned on me that examining bugs in the river water might tell just as much about the viability of the water as analyzing phosphate concentration. It brought things together for me, and now I find myself wondering at connections between chemistry and physics."

"I love this program! I think it is one of the best things going in environmental science in this area."
— Middle School Teacher

"On board we were treated like real scientists with real responsibilities."
