| WARIE (Women As Researchers in Environments) Project |
This project recieved funding from the Women's
Foundation of Minnesota. It allowed the purchase of equipment
to be used in science methods
courses in the Education Department as well as in the Biology,
Chemistry and Physics Departments.
An additional grant was also received from the CSC Centers of
Excellence (COE). This grant allowed faculty from Biology,
Chemistry and Education
to meet and discuss collaboration and changes in science instruction.

From the meetings, an opportunity was offered to an education
student to work with Dr. Gina Mancini-Samuelson, Chemistry,
on water quality
analysis of the Dew Drop on the campus. Christine Isenberg, an
elementary education major, conducted water quality tests on
the Dew Drop with
Dr. Mancini-Samuelson over the summer months of 2003. Click

Isenberg's
work
In addition, a biology student, Colleen Anderson, created
a Plant Identification webguide for plants in the 'Big Woods' on
the St.
Paul campus.
