Using Long Island Sound's Great Meadows Marsh as a field site to conduct applied science research projects

Frank LaBanca, Newtown High School, Sandy Hook, CT

Great Meadows Marsh is a coastal Long Island Sound salt marsh in Stratford, Connecticut. Part of the McKinley National Wildlife Refuge, this marsh has been used extensively as a field site for many authentic, applied research projects. Student projects range from water quality, biochemistry, ecology, through analytical chemistry studies. This platform will provide a contextual background to discuss many of the projects conducted by high school students through the years.
