As a public school teacher in the Kennewick school district, I had occasion to do a wonderful classroom project with my students and the staff of CREHST. The project was entitled, Science History in Your Own Backyard. The purpose was to expose the children of our area to "the rest of the story" of the Manhattan project. The staff at CREHST provided hours of hands on learning and support to the children and me. Each of the 60 students prepared a power point presentation to share with their classmates and parents.
If you are searching for a very valuable learning experience for your students, I strongly recommend you contact the CREHST Museum.
