All students receive a monthly one hour lesson designed to reinforce what students are learning in the classroom, providing important hands-on experiences in the context of the natural world.
Lessons also support the Common Core and Next Generation Science Standards by engaging students in research-based thinking routines designed to help scaffold learning through observation, explanation, reasoning, making connections, considering different viewpoints, and wondering.
Donations are always welcome! You can even choose to make small payments every month - Just select Monthly Payments.
