Leave your classroom and join us in Golden Gate Park to gain the tools, techniques and confidence to explore the outside world with your students. In this week-long workshop you’ll learn about forest habitats near and far as you record and reflect on your experiences using a simple but significant tool—the science journal. Discoveries will begin with individual trees that could be outside your school and then expand into the natural areas, gardens, and exhibits found in Golden Gate Park.

This standards-aligned workshop will explore investigation skills through the lens of forest ecosystems. Topics covered include climate, plant and animal interactions, and conservation. The workshop is designed to make science teaching more exciting and accessible for kindergarten through fifth grade teachers. Join us to see why past participants have been so excited about this program!
