 Environmental Science 120 Class at KVHS:

Amy Peters lead the following activity with her Environmental Science 120 Class at KVHS:

 Mactaquac Dam is nearing the end of its life and NB Power was asking for public input on the three options for the future of the dam (upgrade it for power generation, keep just the dam, but no power, or remove the dam and return the river to its natural flow). I used this to introduce the topic of power generation in my class. Once we had studied the all the alternatives we wrote letters to Gaetan Thomas (president of NB power) and they contacted us after Christmas wanting to speak to my class. He was impressed and had even mentioned them to some members of parliament. He visited on January 21st and engaged in an excellent presentation and conversation with the students.
