Students Work To Improve Chesapeake Bay’s Health At Honeywell Institute For Ecosystems Education
Students - grades six to ten - are making an effort to improve the Bay’s health by experimenting with nutrient levels and phytoplankton growth in the Choptank River, a major tributary of the Chesapeake Bay. To help restore and protect the environment for the community and future generations in the area, students are collecting data to determine the effects of water quality, weather and human impact on the Chesapeake Bay.
In partnership with environmental organizations, Honeywell provides students with unique learning opportunities and educators with new teaching tools to promote green science in the classroom. The Ecosystems program is sponsored in partnership with Honeywell through its corporate citizenship initiative, Honeywell Hometown Solutions.
