Kearny High School / School of Communication Technology
Ms. JJ Johnson / 10th grade biology
This teacher is interested in water-based projects, specifically looking at eutrophication as a local and regional issue of concern. All of our water projects may likely include: water testing of temperature, pH, dissolved oxygen, biochemical oxygen demand, hardness, nitrates, total dissolved solids, salinity, turbidity, water-borne microorganisms. Potentially may include dissolved organic molecules as well.
Volunteers will commit to spending four full days with the students on data collection field trips (dates to be determined by teacher), and additional full or part days at the school to assist with data analysis (labs in class), creation of posters, and other help on project as needed; on average this will be 2-6 days per quarter. Reliable transportation required.
This is a great volunteer experience for students interested in: biology, ecology, environmental science, chemistry, wastewater, desalination, water law or environmental law, water quality, environmental mitigation.

Ms. Jennifer Ogo / 11th and 12th grade Advanced Placement Environmental Science
This project will be a pollution and water project. This project will likely be looking at how water and pollutants move through the environment. All of our water projects may likely include: water testing of temperature, pH, dissolved oxygen, biochemical oxygen demand, hardness, nitrates, total dissolved solids, salinity, turbidity, water-borne microorganisms. Potentially may include dissolved organic molecules as well.

Mr. Tracy Ebba / 11th grade chemistry
Mr. David Escamilla / 11th and 12th grade International Baccalaureate (project based learning) Environmental Science
These teachers will be working with water quality in Rose Creek and Mission Bay, and the environmental impacts on plants and birds of water quality and abundance of fresh water in a brackish ecosystem.
Volunteers will commit to spending four full days with the students on data collection field trips (dates to be determined by teacher), and additional full or part days at the school to assist with data analysis (labs in class), creation of posters, and other help on project as needed; on average this will be 2-6 days per quarter.

Kearny High School/ Construction Tech Academy
Ms. Wileatha Brown / 9th grade earth science / Construction Tech Academy
Project is least developed at this point; she will be teaching students in earth science about abiotic factors (water, soil, sun, etc). They will be gathering some sort of data on one or more of these topics. She will also be tying in these lessons to the Construction Tech Academy "Green Community Design Project," which will open the door to connections in urban planning (soil, water, green energy - tidal, solar, wind, etc).
Volunteers will commit to spending four full days with the students on data collection field trips (dates to be determined by teacher), and additional full or part days at the school to assist with data analysis (labs in class), creation of posters, and other help on project as needed; on average this will be 2-6 days per quarter. Reliable transportation required.
This is a great volunteer experience for students interested in: physical science, urban planning, development, environmental biology,construction, green energy, civil engineering. To sign up, contact Shelley Glenn Lee at sglenn@ucsd.edu
Ms. Ericka Senegar-Mitchell / 10th grade biology
This project will focus on genetic ecology. Students will be collecting insects and doing genetic analysis to identify species of ants and bees, and possibly differentiate between ant supercolonies.
Volunteers will commit to spending four full days with the students on data collection field trips (dates to be determined by teacher), and additional full or part days at the school to assist with data analysis (labs in class), creation of posters, and other help on project as needed; on average this will be 2-6 days per quarter. Reliable transportation required.
This is a great volunteer experience for students interested in: biology, ecology, environmental science, genetics, species diversity.
