Pond field day (2nd Grade)
The pond field day is designed for 2nd graders to increase their curiosity and knowledge of a local habitat. In the morning, students engage in a variety of activities at the pond related to pond life and the water cycle. They also collect pond water samples. In the afternoon, students examine these samples in the classroom using microscopes and create observational drawings of the organisms they find. Pond field trips are generally run at schools with ponds within walking distance
Environmental Science Investigations (3rd-5th grade)
Students spend the day working with our science educators exploring the various habitat types on 230 acre Woolman property. Students conduct several investigations which allow them to explore both how these ecosystems are connected, and how scientists use direct observation to learn about natural systems. The program allows students to participate in structured and unstructured science investigations so that they can tap into their inner scientist!
Environmental Science Investigation field days are offered at the Woolman Outdoor School campus located off Jones Bar Road / Woolman Lane.
Watershed Explorers (3rd-5th grade)
Sierra Scientists (6th-8th grade)
This is our oldest running program for the Sierra Streams Education field program. In the field students learn the skills and tools to collect water quality data, collect and ID macroinvertebrates, and learn their riparian plants. Watershed Explorers is for the 3rd through 5th grade and Sierra Scientists is for the 6th through 8th grade. Contact us today to get your students in the stream learning about their watershed!
