Description : UNO students from Instructor Andrew Miller’s Environmental Chemistry and Instrumental Analysis courses will work with Ms. Rachel Benzoni’s Honors Chemistry students from Northwest High Magnet School throughout the spring semester of 2019. This semester is the first time for them to work on this service learning project. UNO and Northwest students will visit Glacier Creek Preserve, which is a 172 ha (424 acre) preserve situated northwest of Omaha and part of UNO, for field sampling. After the field sampling, students will conduct field analysis, testing nitrogen mass in the soil samples. They will also develop a model of nitrogen movement using GIS mapping.

Description : Students from Professor Steve Rodie’s Landscape Appreciation course and Ms. Rachael Arens’ Omaha Northwest AP Environmental Science students will work together to design a garden addition for the garden at Northwest High School. The garden will feature plants of various types, including medicinal and pollinator plants as well as a garden to highlight both Native American traditions and the explorations of Lewis and Clark. This P-16 service learning project covers various environmental sustainability and STEAM concepts (Science, Technology, Engineering, Art and Math). This project reinforces classroom curriculum for UNO and ONW students by teaching students about sustainable landscape design techniques in a real-world setting.
