Investigating Vernal Pools
by Sacramento Splash

Splash invites all 4th and 5th grade teachers in Sacramento County to apply for a place in this program. This program integrates a 13-lesson, standards-based science curriculum with a field trip to the vernal pools at Mather Field. The curriculum prepares the students for their field trip by teaching them all about vernal pools and the plants and animals that live in them. Classroom preparation is the key difference between Splash field trips and others, because the students arrive prepped
