Field Trips

Watershed Science Overnight

A Day in the ChaparralGrade 4-5
Seventeen hours, $2700 for up to 45 participants

In this overnight program, students embark on an in-depth exploration of the science of watersheds. They examine the complex relationships present within watersheds. Students learn scientific techniques as they perform a fish dissection, conduct water chemistry tests, work on a biological assessment, and examine global water distribution. Student research teams conduct a soil study of samples from within the Dana Point Harbor. The groups compare and analyze the data in order to assess current conditions. In the morning, their land-based examinations are complemented by research activities offshore aboard the R/V Sea Explorer.
