In July 2008, Science Educator Crystal Williams invited the Citizens’ Monitoring Network to attend summer camp
at the Imagination Station Science Museum in Wilson, NC.  The summer camp was titled “Beyond the Yellow Tape”
where middle school campers learned how to apply lab science in crime-solving.
 
The campers conducted water quality testing on different samples of polluted water.  With given scenarios,
the campers were able to use their measurements to help identify whether an area was affected by point-source polluters. 
They also learned how pollution can affect different aquatic ecosystems whether it is a lake or river. 

This is the second year that the Citizens’ Monitoring Network has been involved with summer camps at Imagination Station. 
The previous year, we assisted campers in comparing two different aquatic ecosystems.  In both years, the campers
enjoyed learning about the different ways you can test the water.
