Hooray! This project is fully funded

Hooray! This project is fully funded

At our school, we provide a rigorous, hands-on science program for at risk youth who are on probation. We offer two science courses, which include Biology and Integrated Science. Students pursue their own questions, design experimental procedures, practice collecting data, analyze and draw conclusions based on their data, and also, through a strong writing component, students learn to communicate, justify, and publish their conclusions.

Students that are on probation are at a very important turning point in their lives. They are mostly very talented and intelligent, but for many reasons are turned off to school. This project offers them an opportunity to do important field work that supports the ecology of three ponds near our school. When they are engaged in meaningful hands-on work, they look very much like college students and make wonderful observation, ask great questions and begin to consider academics as an actual option for improving their future.

This project will study the ecology of three separate ponds near our school. The students will identify native and non-native species of plankton in the ponds as well as surveying the bio-diversity of the pond environments. They will conduct water soil and air testing and become stewards of the ponds and the life contained in them. The project will last all year and will see how the ponds change over time. The students need aquatic field guides and nets.

Your donation says to our students at a time when California schools face a 10% education budget decrees, that the young people are important to our country and the global community. You are helping them to learn to heal the planet in a time of possible ecological crisis.
