		Lana Carolan		Ellensburg High School		Life Science		EHS biology class seeks to inspire a closer relationship with nature through direct, hands-on experiences in the natural world. We seek to learn new ways to live with the earth and each other without harm. By participating in the WATERS grant, students will be exposed to the Yakima watershed. Specifically, we are interested in the influence and impacts of local activities on the Yakima River.		Susan Brady		lcarolan@eburg.wednet.edu

		Brian Richardson		Davis High School		Physical Science		I am interested in describing and understanding the motion of water, and looking at the world around us in a new and different way. Thus, my hope is that Yakima WATERS will help us discover alternatives for humans to utilize renewable energy sources.		Caitlyn Orem		Richardson.Brian@yakimaschools.org
		Brittainy Ryan		Cle Elum/Roslyn High School		Life Science		Our curriculum is based on stewardship of place (in this case the upper Yakima River), making it a logical fit with the Yakima WATERS project.		Clayton Larkins
		Eric Wickwire		Cle Elum/Roslyn High School		Civics		My connection to Yakima WATERS began with the completion of my Resource Management masters thesis, which focused on using local places as cultural landscapes to ignite inquiry learning. I've applied these ideas at Cle Elum-Roslyn High School establishing the Discovery Institute, which combines our local place and examine human land use as context for student learning.
