From the American River Parkway Foundation and SCOE, learn about plants that grow along the parkway.
With traditional field trips currently on hold due to the 2019 Novel Coronavirus (COVID-19), the Curriculum and Instruction Department at the Sacramento County Office of Education (SCOE) has been hard at work to bring some of these formative experiences online. SCOE collaborated with the American River Parkway Foundation (ARPF) to create an engaging series of Science, Technology, Engineering, and Math (STEM) video lessons for students, recorded on location at the River Bend Outdoor Education site and the Effie Yeaw Nature Center.
After completing the new video series, families are encouraged to visit the American River Parkway in person—making sure to take appropriate physical distancing and safety precautions—to experience one of Sacramento’s finest natural resources and make real-life scientific observations.
