First-year students at Harvey Mudd College are mentoring fifth and sixth grade students at Vista del Valle and other Claremont elementary schools in science, mathematics, and writing. Our collaboration provides a hands-on experimental science project aligned to the grade five California state mathematics and science content standards for every elementary school student. Specifically, we are measuring lead in soil from vehicle emissions throughout Claremont. The Harvey Mudd students reflect on the science, engineering, and social demands which brought tetraethyl lead to the market as a gasoline additive for over sixty years. This project exemplifies the Havery Mudd College Mission Statement and is made possible by funding from the National Science Foundation, the Ludwick Family Foundation, the Camille & Henry Dreyfus Foundation, and Harvey Mudd College.
