Can this study explore how students engaged in a scientific investigation of their local environment using a range of technologies can influence their interest in science and skills in scientific investigation?

Primary students are working with mentors (high school students) and role models (university students) to investigate water quality in their local environment.

Students will be using a range of technologies including meters, chemical tests, digital microscope and mobile phones to collect data; and a range of digital technologies (moblogs and multimedia) to analyse and present their findings.
