The program offers in-depth experiences that use inquiry as a basis for building effective field studies. We will highlight New Jersey’s natural phenomena and our relationships to the environment. Learning activities are place-based and support student success in demonstrating proficiency with the New Jersey Student Learning Standards for Science (NJSLS-S). Our focus for the week will be within the Passaic River Watershed.
