In an innovative project, the Science and Social Studies department in Bernards Township banded together to monitor deer populations. With the heavy involvement of students, the project boasts more than a hundred data points and shows promise in educating others in the “impact of geography on a particular culture” (http://www.communitymap.net/deer/bernards/). Each data point may contain deer-related accidents, movement of dear families, hunting and food supply. Students are expected to learn more about the scientific process as well as technological tools available to them.
