Abstract	With schools being asked to accomplish more and more, it is increasingly important to, whenever possible, address multiple goals in teaching. Educating the whole child dictates that we find ways to ensure our graduates are well-rounded, independent thinkers capable of becoming well-adjusted, contributing adults. Thus community service has become a key component of the high school curriculum. To meet these many objectives, the project described here, in which students conducted radon testing in area homes, was comprised of four components--content knowledge; public awareness; data collection, analysis, and interpretation; and presentation of data. Community connections were made not only directly through testing, but also through informational brochures and newspaper articles prepared and distributed by students. (Contains 5 figures.)
