Columbia River Studies curriculum: An Integrated Course for High School students.

The Columbia River Studies class at Stevenson High School in Stevenson, Washington, was an interdisciplinary course that used science, history, mathematics, geography, technology, art, music, and literature to study a place.

Through studies in class and in the field, students learned about the Columbia River and practiced ways to gather and analyze information about specific places on the river. Individual projects take students into the field to study a place they care about and give them opportunities to study agencies, laws, and developments that have an effect on the landscape and on the natural and human communities that live on the river.
