School Programs

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 about Splash's school programs, please click on the links below.

Elementary Program: Investigating Vernal Pools

Our 4th & 5th grade program, Life in Our Watershed: Investigating Vernal Pools, integrates a 13-lesson, standards-based science curriculum with a 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 Program: Investigating Streams & Water Quality

This place-based stream ecology curriculum draws connections between aquatic life, water quality and the way we live in our watersheds. By studying the life in local streams, secondary students meet myriad small creatures who depend on clean water for life. Understanding their connection to this intricate web of life empowers students to join community efforts to protect water and habitat where they live.

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.

Splash Club After School

Despite their desire to learn and grow with Splash, many students encounter obstacles that keep them from returning to the Splash Education Center for Splash Club and Nature in the Neighborhood events. In an effort to provide access to outdoor investigation for these students, in 2008-09, Splash piloted a version of Splash Club that can take place after school on the school site. We call it Splash Club After School.

Every student can learn, just not on the same day, or the same way.
