Interdisciplinary Climate Action Projects in HS Chemistry
Climate change is a crisis already affecting people across the world. Educating current students will help prepare them to understand and take action now and in the future. As part of SFUSD's Chemistry curriculum, we integrated climate change throughout the spring semester and created 4 projects to encourage students to take action in the wider world.

Would your school like to leverage outdoor learning as a transformative teaching tool that benefits students' academic performance, social and emotional well-being, and physical health? And improves staff morale?
