In this publication we describe the Project completed as part of a standard Statistics course at Middlesex Community College, Beford-Lowell, MA.
Students conduct a regional watershed analysis of an area of their choosing. Using on-line data and their personal knowledge of the area, they determine the annual hydrologic budget and teach the class about "their" watershed.

This is a small part of a much larger project in which students complete an high altitude balloon flight (HAB). In this part they complete a series of steps that encourage collaboration, communication, cooperation, and best practices in designing an experiment for the flight.
In this activity students will;
- Communicate and collaborate with experimental design team members to achieve a specific goal
- Seek advice from knowledgeable specialists as part of the information-seeking process
- Incorporate knowledge from past student HAB experience to refine ideas.
- Identify useful resources for designing an experiment.
- Apply lessons from past HAB experiments, and advice form knowledgeable physical scientists.
- Compose a working hypothesis.
- Design an experiment to test a working hypothesis.
