EARTH 100/100H - Environment Earth

In this three-week summer course, students completed several hands-on investigative projects. Research projects included measuring CO2 changes indoor, urban heat-island effects, changes in water properties downstream, and creating a profile map of the campus. The honors version of EARTH 100 ties in with the themes of climate change, energy and biodiversity. Students use Digital Commons technology to create audio walking tours of Pennsylvania biodiversity in a local state park and a virtual tour of the Solar Decathlon competition.
