Elementary Curriculum: Investigating Vernal Pools

Photo by David Rosen, Wildside Photography

This is a 13-lesson, standards-based science curriculum designed to integrate with a hands-on field trip to the vernal pools at Mather Field. The curriculum prepares the students for their field trip by teaching them all about vernal pools and the plants and animals that live in them.

Secondary Curriculum: Investigating Streams & Water Quality

This stream ecology curriculum is intended for grades 6-12 and draws connections between aquatic life, water quality, and the way we live in our watersheds. Understanding their connection to the intricate web of life empowers students to join community efforts to protect water and habitat where they live.

Dwell among the beauties of the earth

Those who dwell, as scientists or laymen, among the beauties and mysteries of the earth are never alone or weary of life.
