Sacramento Splash offers two standards-based, environmental
science programs for teachers of grades 4-12. We also offer
classroom presentations for grades 3-6. For more information

You don’t have to be a student to participate in Splash programs!
Several times throughout the year, we open our doors and invite
the public to learn with us as we explore the amazing natural
spaces that surround us.
At Splash we believe in experiential learning in nature. Artwork
is a natural avenue for kids to connect with the living world
around them. The same observation skills we use as scientists are
being exercised when we draw and paint in nature. Together the
practice of art and science encourage the basis of scientific
inquiry: To notice, to wonder, and to compare.
Sacramento Splash is and has always been a fundamentally
collaborative organization. Our curricula are the product of
collaboration among scientists and educators and our programs
operate thanks to collaboration among the partners of the
Water Quality Consortium.
At Splash, we believe that we can accomplish more together than
we can apart. Great things are possible when smart, committed
people organize and pull together in the same direction. Check
out the links below for more information about some of our recent
collaborative efforts.
We recently migrated our old site over to this spiffy, new
platform. Unfortunately, when you move a website, sometimes
things break. If something isn’t working or looks funny, please
fill out this quick form and we’ll fix it ASAP. Thanks for
your help!
Splash in the Class presentations are a fun way to teach your
students how to take care of their local environment. These
interactive presentations are designed for grades 3 – 6 and last
about 70 minutes. Best of all, they’re completely FREE!
