Blue Schools Empower A Generation To Plant Native Trees For Streams
Connecting to your One World Ocean
Blue Schools, an ecology- and sustainability-based K-12 curriculum, empower students—and communities—to become stewards of the beaches, streams, rivers, and ocean. Through Blue Schools, students uncover the significance of their local watershed, learn about the pollutants that could contaminate local drinking water, and create a holistic connection between their very own environment and the long-term health of the neighborhood water supply, wildlife, and our one world ocean.https://oceanblueproject.org/lincoln-city-beach-cleanup-oregon-volunteer-events/
A decoration program of Ocean Blue Project, Blue Schools is a K-12 curriculum that teaches children and young adults to become active environmental stewards. Developed in collaboration with the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency and the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Association, Blue Schools is tailored to the unique needs and attributes of individual classrooms, communities, and watersheds. The ecology-based curriculum contains four main segments:
Classroom Learning
Grade Level-appropriate, inquiry-based discussion, and activities
STEM Lessons at Home
The bottom under the feet is element of a watershed. All of us live, work, and play in watersheds. A watershed is an area of land that drains rainfall that forms streams to low-lying areas and outlets such as the mouth of a bay, the outflow of a reservoir, or any point along a stream or river.
