Mapping Landforms 

Students create a 3-D model using a piece of paper and map and identify the types of landforms and bodies of water that we find in Santa Clara County. After identifying mountains and valleys, creeks, rivers and bays, we will brainstorm ways to protect our watersheds and conserve water every day.

 

Steelhead Trout Life Cycle

Students will learn about the amazing life cycle of steelhead trout and explore the habitats they depend on as they journey from Santa Clara County’s creeks to the Pacific Ocean, and back again! We will play a matching game and think of ways that we can all work together to protect the habitats and water that Steelhead trout depend on for survival.
