About this organization
Mission
SACRAMENTO SPLASH BRINGS URBAN KIDS INTO NATURE TO EXPLORE, LEARN SCIENCE, AND DISCOVER THEIR ROLE IN PROTECTING THE NATURAL WORLD.
About
THIS YEAR, SACRAMENTO SPLASH DELIVERED ITS SIGNATURE PROGRAM,"LIFE IN OUR WATERSHED: INVESTIGATING VERNAL POOLS", TO 105 CLASSES OF 4TH/5TH GRADERS FROM PUBLIC SCHOOLS THROUGHOUT THE SACRAMENTO AREA. THIS AWARD-WINNING ENVIRONMENTAL SCIENCE PROGRAM INTEGRATES A 13-LESSON, STANDARDS-BASED SCIENCE CURRICULUM WITH A FIELD TRIP TO THE NEARBY MATHER FIELD VERNAL POOLS. THERE, STUDENTS GET TO MEET THE ANIMALS AND PLANTS THEY'VE BEEN STUDYING IN THEIR CLASSROOMS.THIS INTEGRATION OF CLASSROOM AND EXPERIENTIAL LEARNING IS A UNIQUE AND POWERFUL ASPECT OF THE SPLASH PROGRAM. AS A RESULT, STUDENTS DEVELOP REAL UNDERSTANDING AND COMPASSION FOR THE LIVING THINGS THEY HAVE STUDIED. THEY ALSO BEGIN TO FEEL A SENSE OF RESPONSIBILITY FOR PROTECTING THE NATURAL RESOURCES THAT THOSE LIVING THINGS RELY ON. THIS IS DEEP EDUCATION THAT TAPS INTO A CHILD'S NATURAL CURIOSITY ABOUT THE WORLD AROUND THEM AND INSPIRES A PASSION FOR SCIENCE.THE SPLASH EXPERIENCE IS PARTICULARLY SIGNIFICANT BECAUSE MANY OF SACAMENTO'S URBAN KIDS HAVE NO OTHER OPPORTUNITIES TO LEARN AND PLAY IN NATURE. BASED AT MATHER FIELD, AN ISLAND OF OPEN SPACE ONLY 20 MINTUES FROM DOWNTOWN SACRAMENTO, SPLASH SERVES STUDENTS FROM ALL WALKS OF LIFE AND PLACES SPECIAL EMPHASIS ON ENGAGING LOW-INCOME AND MINORITY STUDENTS WHO NEED HELP TO ACCESS NEARBY NATURE.
