Peaks & Potential Conference: Underwater Science Investigation Workshop

Come and learn about stream systems and the organisms that live in them! You will build an instrument, collect stream water quality measurements, collect aquatic bugs, and learn about stream health.

This is one workshop in the Peaks and Potentials MSu Extended University Conference.

The Office of Continuing Education is proud to once again offer Peaks & Potentials to Montana youth. Now in its 26th successful summer, this experience is designed to give high-ability/high-potential students in grades 5-7 (in Fall, 2009) the opportunity to explore special topics of interest and work with experts in various subject areas. A recommendation from an appropriate school official is required for the student's acceptance.

Instructors are MSU faculty, graduate students and experienced professionals from the area. University students and professionals act as director and counselors throughout the week. Students have the option of staying on campus or commuting each day. All classes emphasize personal instruction and small group interaction as well as a "hands-on" approach. Academic, recreational and social activities offer students a chance to interact with their peers and sample campus life.
