Several Whitehall eighth-graders will be learning about environmental sustainability and conducting water quality studies this week aboard a research vessel owned by Grand Valley State University. 

According to the article:

The experience on the vessel provides hands-on experience and brings the excitement of scientific research to the students. The vessel has an onboard laboratory where students analyze water samples from various sites to learn about what factors contribute to water quality. Students will be introduced to the Great Lakes Literacy Principles, and the positive actions they can take to be stewards of the environment.
