 | This 60-minute hands-on, inquiry-based lesson students explore the environmental impacts of drought on salmon in California. Working collaboratively, students build creek models representing both drought-affected and healthy streams. They measure key water quality parameters such as temperature, pH, and turbidity to analyze how drought conditions alter stream habitats. |
 | This 90-minute lesson (or two 50-minute lessons) will introduce your students to electricity generation in California and how it contributes to climate change. Students work in teams to design and build wind blades capable of spinning a wind turbine. |
