About This Activity
Wednesday - Aug 26 | Sept 2, 9, 16, 23, 30 | Oct 14, 21, 28 | Nov 4 No Class -Conference Week Oct 7 10 sessions x 60 minutes Step outside and into a world of discovery! This class takes learning outdoors, immersing students in hands-on science, nature exploration, and creative problem-solving — sparking curiosity, creativity, and environmental responsibility every step of the way. Through experiments, engineering challenges, and nature-based projects conducted largely outside in the natural world, students discover how ecosystems work, explore the ways humans impact the environment, and develop innovative, real-world solutions. Rather than treating environmental science as a list of facts to memorize, this program invites students to think like problem-solvers and innovators — building practical knowledge about sustainability, conservation, and climate solutions while having genuine fun in the fresh air. A taste of what students might build and explore, outdoors: • 🚶 Leading their own short nature walk and talk for the group • 🦋 Building water stations for pollinators and insects, like a butterfly puddler • 💧 Designing a working water filtration system using cotton balls, sand, and gravel Each session builds curiosity, teamwork, and environmental stewardship — helping students walk away with confidence, sharper critical-thinking skills, and a genuine sense that they can make a real difference in the world around them. Please note: this class is held primarily outdoors, rain or shine — please dress students for the weather! Because at Livermore After The Bell Enrichment, learning doesn't stop when the bell rings — it steps outside and gets its hands dirty.
