we want to inspire the desire to research.
Studying the quality of water near an old dump site on the
Sand Hill River helps high school students discover the importance
of accurate data gathering in research. Led by U of M, Crookston
assistant professors Katy Smith and Brian Dingmann, along with
their high school science teacher, these students are unlocking
the river water's secrets and learning important skills as future
scientists, teachers, environmentalists, and leaders.
