The program was created at SUU under a teachers' professional development program 'funded by the Utah State Legislature. It was structured to offer an environmental education experience relevant to a student's immediate surroundings and includes a week-long training session for fourth through eighth grade teachers and three separate threeday camps for students and teachers. Known as the Cedar Mountain Science Center project, the training was establish~d under the direction of Carol Ev~rett, a veteran teacher and administrator, and Lana Johnson, then a member of SUU's continui(lg education program. Approximately 35 fourth grade students and 30 teachers are scheduled to participate in each of two sessions June 22-24 and June 26-28. Fifth and sixth grade students will participate with teachers during a July 26-28 session. One group of teachers only has already competed the June 12-16 training. "Our goals include offering students and teachers a first hand exposure to conditions and influences which affect the growth and/or development of living things, and we want that exposure to apply to the student's immediate surroundings," Johnson said. "Our ultimate goal is to develop a dedication to inquiry and a dedication to balanced decision making processes as we make environmental decisions.n Each of the three-day camps will include a scientific look at economics, astronomy, water and rflicro organisms. rocks and · minerals, animals (bats, snakes, birds, and insects). and the processes of mining. Several field investigations are planned. The relationships of art and literature to the environment will also be studied. Scheduled participants are from Alpine, Garfield, Iron, San Juan, and Washington school districts. "We will be doing such things as teambuilding and critical thinking activities, field studies and analysis of toads and frogs, collection and identification of plant species, studying the role of wood-rotting fungi in forest ecology, field investigations of rocks and minerals, sampling and calculating biodiversity in streams and grassy areas, photographing the moon , and discussing economic impacts on the environment," Johnson said. Instructors in the program include members of the SUU faculty and staff, public school teachers, and community members with special expertise. "This is an on-going program, which we hope to expand and improve," Johnson said . "Environmental decisions are becoming increasingly important, and we !;lope our approach will help insure that future decisions are based on fact and solid information."
