Citizen Science Field Trips

  • Point Bonita YMCA – Hands on Service & Science Learning: Pacific Mole Crab Monitoring Field Trip –  Students get their hands wet and sandy looking for sand crabs with specially designed equipment. Using their field observation and data collection skills, students use an established protocaol to ID and survey the distribution and abundance of sand crabs on our local beach.
  • The Watershed Project – From Me to the Sea – Students engage in citizen science data collection and analysis around marine debris to experience firsthand the scope of the problem, but also the efforts underway to solve it.
  • Point Blue Conservation Science – Bird Science in Action – Educational field trips to their Palomarin Field Station to observe science-in-action and connect with field biologists as they safely band and release songbirds. Every year, approximately 1,500 students and community members learn how decades of data on bird populations uncovers evidence of climate change in our backyard, and beyond.

 

Student Action Projects

  • Kis for the Bay – Environmental Action Projects – Each project includes engaging hands-on activities focusing on a particular environmental problem and the solutions to that problem.  Teachers and students become empowered to take action and help our local environment! Several types of projects available. Some scholarships available.
  • The Watershed Project – Greening Urban Watersheds Service Learning Projects-  include service trips to various restoration sites, including tree planting opportunities.
  • Jane Goodall’s Roots & Shoots provides a tool kit for how to do service learning projects with your students. You can also get $200 mini-grants to support your effort.

Join Our Team

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!
