| Project Description IEHMSP facilitates collaboration between community stakeholders and classrooms. Through these classroom collaborations students learn first-hand that environmental health science (EHS) topics are relevant to a wide range of community groups, individuals, and decision makers. Therefore, the goal of Middle School Project (IEHMSP) is to train New Mexico educators (teaching in grades 6-8) to plan and implement curricula and research projects that use environmental health science as an integrating context for learning. Students and community members who learn about environmental health issues can take action to protect their health. Environmental health is an excellent and meaningful topic through which to learn basic academic skills in math, science, social studies, language arts and health. Objective: Train middle school teachers in NM to integrate environmental health into a variety of academic classes and help students conduct research and meaningingfully connect with their communities around an environmental health issue.
