TMCNet: From prosthetics to nonlinear dynamics: MHS students present their Extended Learning Internship research projects [Moscow-Pullman Daily News, Moscow, Idaho]

From prosthetics to nonlinear dynamics: MHS students present their Extended Learning Internship research projects [Moscow-Pullman Daily News, Moscow, Idaho]

(Moscow-Pullman Daily News (ID) Via Acquire Media NewsEdge) Jan. 16--Janelle Meier became interested in prosthetics by accident, although it wasn't one that left her missing any limbs.

The senior Moscow High School student was enrolled in an Extended Learning Internship course last fall and wanted to travel out of the country for her project. But her parents said that wasn't an option, so she turned to the Web.

She stumbled upon the Walter Reed Army Medical Center Web site and a strange, new word -- "prosthetist." A self-professed "word nerd," Meier was hooked and set out to find the definition.

"Three hours passed of just me doing research, and none of my other homework got done that night," she said.

Meier found a new passion in prosthetics and decided to immerse herself in the field for her ELI course. She even interviewed three amputees and one prosthetist, which is a person who designs, makes or fits prosthetic limbs.

She was one of six students to present her research findings Friday afternoon to an auditorium filled with classmates, teachers and community members. Six other students presented Friday morning, while 10 students presented Thursday.

The ELI program has been active at MHS since 1978, coordinator Gretchen Wissner said. It's an independent study course open to all students who are interested in pursuing a field of study not necessarily offered by the school.

"Some of them are taking something that they're already passionate about to a whole new level, and others are exploring something (new), because as a small high school, we're limited in what we can offer (in terms of electives)," Wissner said.


Students taking the ELI course are paired with professional mentors in the community -- many of them professors at the University of Idaho and Washington State University -- who help guide them through their research process.

The students are expected to set goals for themselves and keep track of how much time is spent on the project, about 90 to 100 hours per semester for most, Wissner said.

"Because they're directing their own learning, there are no limits, so they think about it all the time whether they're actually doing it or not," she said.

Meier held up a prosthetic leg covered in red stars during her presentation. She explained the history, anatomy and mechanics of prosthetics and said she wants to further her study of the field even though the ELI is complete.

Other students researched topics as varied as French imperialism in Africa, video game design, fairness in the U.S. criminal justice system and body modification.

Ben Clark, also a senior, performed two songs on guitar with his classmate Chris Ketchum on Friday afternoon.

Clark began his ELI presentation by thanking his parents for putting up with his practicing guitar at night.

He then told the audience how a guitar is built and is used to create different frequencies of sound.

That framework gave him context for the next part of his project -- playing with other people, like Ketchum. He said he practiced with others at least once a week during the semester.

"I think I'm better playing with people than I was before," Clark said.

Andrew Donelick, a junior, completed two different ELI projects, but on Friday he spoke about nonlinear dynamics, also known as chaos theory.

The most common example of nonlinear dynamics is the butterfly effect, Donelick said. In basic terms, it means small changes can cause huge changes elsewhere in unpredictable systems, such as weather.

He said those types of unpredictable changes are what make it extremely difficult for forecasters to accurately predict the weather.

Donelick used various computer programs to visualize several equations that demonstrate chaos theory. He also constructed a large Lorenzian waterwheel, which looks and operates like a Ferris wheel but uses water in cups to circulate, sometimes in unpredictable ways.

He said the project taught him that "the world is a very, very complex place." Wissner said it's good for students to explore these topics while they're in high school so they have a better idea of what they want to do in college.

"They get a sense before they go through four years of school," she said. "They get a sense for what it means to do it on a daily basis." Holly Bowen can be reached at (208) 882-5561, ext. 239, or by e-mail at hbowen@dnews.com.
