To prepare for this reflection, students are assigned to do background reading on the organization they will/wish to work with for the Service Learning component of the course. Students then are guided into a reflection with the following questions:
Why should you know about the people or organization with whom you'll be working? Why do you think this partner was chosen? After reading about the partner organization, how would you like to contribute to their work, (what kind of support would you give and/or project would you do?) How does it your idea/project relate to the content of the course and the organization mission and goals? What are you hoping to learn from the collaboration/ project? What do you hope to have gained from this project and What do you think your service-learning partner hopes to have gained after completion of this project?
The assignment also gives students practice in eliciting their own thoughts and reflections when approaching a new experience

We will go below the surface and learn how water chemistry plays an important role in the Rain Shadow Effect. First, check out the Watershed Council Director video to learn how the Powder Basin Watershed Council is supporting efforts to restore their rivers, streams, and lakes in an arid part of Eastern Oregon. In the Discovery Challenge video, explore and learn how water chemistry plays a role in the rain shadow effect causing Eastern Oregon to not get nearly as much rain as Western Oregon.
This lesson introduces NGSS standards, and those standards are listed in the lesson and is part of the Explore Science Club series, an online Career Connected Learning program developed by the Greater Oregon STEM Hub. To learn more find us at: www.go-stem.org.

During the experiments, students hypothesize the effects of climate variability and weather trends on crops. They will then test their hypothesis and make conclusions regarding the results of heat, wind, and freezing on plants. This will help them understand how farmers work to steward agricultural resources in certain environments.
