ONONDAGA COUNTY, N.Y. -- More than 60 middle school students from throughout Central New York started what will be a week of hands-on experiments concerning the environment. They've come together for the 2010 Honeywell Summer Science Week at the MOST.
Monday, the students started at Onondaga Lake Parkway and the week will include a combination of activities at the Museum of Science and Technology and various field locations. They'll be doing everything from collecting water samples throughout the Tully Valley and Onondaga Lake Watershed to exploring Clark Reservation.
"Field work is critical. Getting the kids out into the field, into the woods, in through the creek, getting their feet wet, getting their hands dirty just brings the science to life," said Peter Plumley, Honeywell Camp Director and MOST Exhibit Project Manager.
Created by the MOST, summer Science Week is made possible through grant money from Honeywell Hometown Solutions. It's one of the many programs dedicated to the science and math education of our youth.
Time Warner Cable is the parent company of YNN and we are committed to the Connect a Million Minds program, inspiring youth to develop science, technology, engineering and math skills. For more information on the initiative, go to connectamillionminds.com.
