Project WOW: Waters of the West

蒙大拿州立大学将在生命科学领域启动一个为期三周的住宿青年学者项目，该项目将为30名进入10年级和11年级的学龄前学生提供科学丰富活动。该计划将强调水生生态学的实地研究。项目地点位于峡谷渡口湖，是一个填海局以前的住房设施，已被改造成科学实验室和宿舍。参与者将学习使用最先进的分析仪器，同时与生物学家，化学家，地球科学家，工程师和公司官员并肩工作，对密苏里河上游及其一些支流进行综合科学研究。

Montana State University will initiate a three-week, residential Young Scholars project in the Life Sciences which will offer science enrichment activities for 30 precollege students entering grades 10,11. This program will emphasize field research in aquatic ecology. The project site, located on Canyon Ferry Lake, is a Bureau of Reclamation former housing facility which has been converted to science laboratories and dormitories. Participants will learn to use state-of-the-art analytical instrumentation while working side- by-side with biologists, chemists, earth scientists, engineers and corporate officers in an integrated scientific study of the upper Missouri River and some of its tributaries.
