School Outreach

Our 60-minute classroom presentation meets the criteria of Next Generation Science Standards for California public schools by examining concepts of the water cycle and human interactions with water. Participating students learn about watersheds, the differences between sanitary sewer and storm drain systems, and ways to prevent polluting local waterways. We use videos, graphics, and a hands-on activity as learning aids throughout the presentation. We also encourage student engagement through question-and-answer sessions. 

Teachers who schedule a presentation with USD receive a complimentary teacher workbook containing supplemental activities that can be conducted in the classroom. Participating students receive erasers, rulers, a placemat depicting water pathways, and a wastewater treatment activity book to reinforce the lesson! This program is available to any Tri-City school, including private and charter schools, and is offered free of charge.
