The National Science Foundation(NSF) Program GK12 was just taken onboard by the University of Houston Central Campus. This video was made to introduce one of the graduate students to a class of Fonville Middle School students that he would be working with all year long. It is made in a comical way, but it shows a little of what it is like to be an environmental engineering graduate student at the University of Houston. It is certainly possible that small sections of it could easily be used to introduce the topic of field sampling, environmental studies, or GIS in the classroom.
