Del Obispo Elementary Wins 2009 "Virtual Environment Fair" Award
Ms Brislen's 34 Title I students answered the question "Is the San Juan Creek responsible for polluting Doheny Beach?" Students tested the water for bacteria levels and picked up trash throughout the year. The students asked the question "If the San Juan Creek is not responsible then who or what is?" Maybe it is a combination of factors. The students found out! They worked closely with The South Orange County Surfrider Chapter as well as The Ocean Institute located in the Dana Point harbor. Students made regular trips to the harbor, investigated information online, and participated in the monthly Eco-Quiz and activities. They created Power Point Presentations, videos, reports, and graphs analyzing their data. All of the student files are posted on their web page.
