  • Fellow Maura Hahnenberger and project evaluator Adrienne Splinter, earn their breakfast while helping rake in Albion Basin. Hmmmm, I wonder if this will affect our evaluation?
  • Middle school teachers Carlyn Christian and Adrian Bancroft check to see how their brine shrimp experiment is going.
  • Teachers Machelle Dahl and Jeneal Burt get serious about their brine shrimp.
  • Fellows Mark Blonquist, Carolyn Stwertka, and Ryan Campbell demonstrate their egg protector.
  • The esteemed panel of judges for the Iron Scientist competition; Dave Chapman, Don Feener, and Jon Seger. The judges were strict but fair as long as they were provided with the appropriate bribes beforehand.
  • Fellows help the Alta Environmental Center rake up plant debris to be used later as mulch in the restoration areas.
  • Maura Olivos from the Alta Environmental Center gives fellows and teachers a lesson in local ecology.
  • Ken has a little accident.
  • Doug Fabrizio, host of NPR's "Radio WEST" gave a compelling presentation on communicating by listening. Doug also talked to the teachers and fellows about how to disect complex issues into something the general public (or K-12 students) can understand.
  • Teachers and fellows worked together in teams to come up with an environmental lesson for the "Iron Scientist" competition. The only constraint? The lesson had to include the use of a plastic 2 L bottle.
  • WEST PI and Geophysicist Dave Chapman, and WEST Fellow and physicist Jon Johnson laugh because they assume they are going to win the award for Best Low-mass Design for Protecting a Raw Egg from Destruction When Propelled Against a Rock Wall at Short Range. We'll see about that....
  • Fellows hard at work in the name of science.
  • Fellows Dan Anderson, Zachary Gill, Joe Seamons, and teacher Amanda Mantis show off their intact egg after prematurely being announced the winners of the low-mass collision contest. Photo evidence showed that their egg had actually detached before the mechanism hit the wall causing them to be disqualified (oh, the shame of it all!).
  • Mt. Superior from the Alta Peruvian Lodge
  • Ryan questions Sydney and Phil about which hot tub they will be using that night, the one with the dead mouse OR the putrid green one. Hmmmm.
  • Gwen Foster, 6th grade teachers at Beacon Heights, shows off her low-mass egg protection device.
  • TGLL and WEST Fellows show off their egg-beating design.
  • Maura Olivos from the Alta Environmental Center gave a tour of the restoration project that Alta is undertaking. WEST is designing a field trip that will engage kids in collecting data in the restoration area, learning about the local ecology, and participating in the actual restoration itself.
  • 5th grade teacher, Kathy Millet is astounded at the results of her experiment during a presentation by Carolyn Jenkins from Westminster College.
  • Three physicists and two biochemists, how could they lose?
  • Heather Bennett, VP of the SLCSD Board of Education, joins the SLCSE team in their lesson design session.
  • Duane Merrill, professor of Physics from BYU, was responsible for this mess! Actually, Duane presented the teachers and fellows with an innovative and inquiry-based method for teaching about the physics of mass and "eggs-celeration".
  • Teachers Barbara Goller and David Spencer show off their winning design.
  • Sydney shows off her team's entry into the first annual Iron Scientist competition. This year's mystery ingredient.....a 2 L plastic bottle.
  • Barbara Goller, 5th grade teacher from Edison Elementary, tries to convince the judges that their team has the best lesson in the Iron Scientist competition.
• Millcreek Canyon 2009

  • Ellen explains the science behind GPS technology to 6th graders from SLCSE.
  • WEST Fellow Rhett Zollinger prep students before the embark on the row boats to collect data on water temperature and dissolved oxygen.
  • WEST Fellows Erin Moulding and Doug Baird improvise the solar radiation experiment while waiting for the sun to rise in the canyon.
