Linking the Classroom to the Community

The Science Teacher -- April/May 2005

The Youth Network for Healthy Communities (YNHC) is a teacher-driven project in Washington State in which students research environmental health issues in their communities and present their findings to other students throughout the state via videoconferencing. YNHC focuses on environmental health science in the context of technology and communications. Through YNHC, students make connections between health and the environment, discover how science is an integral part of their lives, and take action for their communities’ health.
