Take a Virtual Field Trip



     As California goes through a drought, it is important to teach students about water. This vital resource makes up 71% of the earth's surface. Unfortunately for us, 97% of it is ocean water, which means that we do not have an infinite supply of h2o. We need our students to understand the importance and impact water has in our lives as well as the environment.
     On April 9th, students can take a virtual field trip with Kari Vigerstol, a senior hydrologist on The Nature Conservancy's Global Water team as she visits two wildly unique biomes and shares with students the huge impact water has in our present world and the future.
     This virtual field trip is also aligned with the Next Generation Science Standards and the National Geography Standards.

     Click HERE to register and share this experience with your students. 

     If you miss the registration, you can still stream it live via YouTube HERE.
