SFUSD Environmental Science Center
A Four-Hour Field Study for Third Grade Classrooms
The SFUSD Environmental Science Center team offers third grade SFUSD classes a free, four-hour, field science investigation to provide students meaningful and engaging science exploration in either Golden Gate or McLaren Parks. The program objective is to have the students compare two areas and come to a conclusion if they are the same habitat or different habitats. During the program, the students will collect and record evidence that they will discuss as a class at the end of the trip. Upon return to their classroom, they will complete a post-lesson writing prompt focused on supporting their claim with evidence. To prepare your students for their field study, there are pre-lessons provided for the teacher to lead in the classroom.
Programming supports the Next Generation Science Standards Science and Engineering Practices of Analyzing Data and Arguing from Evidence, as well as the Common Core State Standards (CCSS) English Language Arts for Student Opinion Writing.
Applications for Park Field Study Program for Grade 3 are closed for the 2017-2018 school year.
