Action Project:

Follow-up Field Trip

Brief Description of the Project

Students celebrate their actions and accomplishments by taking a field trip to their local waste water treatment plant or a nearby preserve or refuge.

Full Project Description

Teachers will arrange an age-appropriate facility tour for their class at the local waste water treatment facility (this list may be outdated). Teachers may also contact the park staff of a local wildlife preserve or refuge to arrange a guided visit that focuses on the impact of environmental pollution on the water, and thus wildlife, in the park/refuge/preserve. For example, the Don Edwards San Francisco Bay National Wildlife Refuge offers a popular field trip program for all grades.
