Service Learning Project Coordinator: "Fungi Planet!"
September-November, Fall 2011
Crop and Soil Science 205: Sustainable Ecosystems
Oregon State University, Corvallis, Oregon, United States
Directed activities of six undergraduate students and designed contents of an educational table for 3-5th graders at the 2011 Discovery Days! event
at Oregon State University. The table presented information on how fungi contribute to soil formation and included hands on activities for elementary students. Undergraduate students
helped create table materials, presented information at the table, and created a blog documenting their experiences.
