The Bay SHORE STUDIES PROGRAM PROVIDES OUTSTANDING LEARNING OPPORTUNITIES FOR 3RD THROUGH 5TH GRADE STUDENTS. The program uses the Bay SHORE AT THE RICHARDSON BAY AUDUBON CENTER & Sanctuary as a model ecological community and explores themes such as interdependent relationship in ecosystems, life cycles, structure and function, food webs, energy cycles, human impact and adaptation. This 2-hour FIELD TRIP IS A MOTIVATING AND VALUABLE LEARNING EXPERIENCE WHERE STUDENTS PARTICIPATE IN A VARIETY OF ACTIVITIES FROM OBSERVING LIVE CRABS TO MEASURING ENVIRONMENTAL CONDITIONS. Trained volunteers help small groups of students explore bay SHORE HABITAT AND USE SCIENCE PRACTICES TO ASK QUESTIONS, plan investigations, collect and compare data, construct explanations, engage in argument from evidence, and obtain, evaluate and communicate information.Bay SHORE STUDIES IS MORE THAN JUST A FIELD TRIP. Teachers are provided with a comprehensive Teacher’s Guide explaining Bay ecology and conservation, defining concepts and providing strategies for fun and practical classroom activities specifically designed to introduce these concepts to students and prepare them for their FIELD TRIP. Each student receives an accompanying Student Handbook which introduces basic concepts and vocabulary, explains the ecology of organisms they may see on their field trip, and provides data sheets for recording their observations and measurements. These materials and activities, as well as the field trip itself, support the Next Generation Science and Common Core Standards. Each 2-hour field trip is limited to no more than 35 students and costs $250. Limited fee waivers and transportation assistance are available for qualifying schools. For questions, contact Erin Blackwood, Education and Outreach Coordinator at erin70@sfsu.edu. Program availability is based on low tides, and slots fill quickly!
