Marine Science Club
The Marine Science Club
is open to all students from Roosevelt High
School. Objectives of the club include: exploring
the history and use of water in San Antonio,
investigating careers in the aquatic science,
and creating student interest in the oceans
and local water bodies. Selected members participate
in the National Ocean Sciences Bowl ( NOSB)
regional competition and/ or Student Water Action
Teams ( SWAT). The NOSB was inaugurated in 1998
and the goal is to provide an educational forum
for students to excel in math and science. Students
receive national recognition for their diligence
and talents. NOSB has proven that it can generate
student interest and excitement about science
giving young people a chance to examine marine
science, both as an in-depth area of study and
as a possible career. The NOSB fosters collegiality
and teamwork, competition, imaginative thinking
and factual recollection. It also allows students
to work side by side with experts in a wide
variety of settings.( From NOSB website - www.nosb.org)
San Antonio Water System
(SAWS) - Student Water Action Team (SWAT) is
an environmental youth education program developed
for San Antonio area high school students and
teachers with a concern for our region's water.
SWAT is a mechanism that provides opportunity
for students and teachers to learn, explore,
and develop a personal environmental ethic.
The purpose of this program is to give students
and teachers background information about local,
regional and historical water issues through
multiple field observations and hands-on investigation
in an effort to motivate members on subjects
such as water, the environment and their community.
