Science in the Parks

Workshop Date: April 1, 2021

Grades K-5

There are so many ways to learn science concepts while exploring local parks. This Scavenger Hunt Activity introduced teachers/families to the East Bay Regional Park Website so they can decide which parks they want to explore.

What do Scientists Do? A set of questions and activities classrooms/families can engage with when doing scientific field work at the park.

The mission of CRS is to empower teachers and STEM professionals serving schools in historically marginalized communities to activate TK-8 students’ curiosity about the world, foster critical thinking, and inspire children to imagine future career pathways. We envision a community of educators, scientists, families and partners working together to build school cultures that equip all children to explore the world around them and build the skills needed to become innovators, problem solvers, environmental stewards, life-long learners and leaders. CRS leads a dynamic network, fostering relationships and collaborations that leverage expertise and resources to transform science teaching and learning toward greater equity, opportunity, and success for all students.

Our goal is simple: help teachers give students more opportunities to “do science” – to ask questions, test ideas, get their hands on real science activities. We need to inspire the next generation of thinkers, makers, problem solvers, and leaders!
