 All
South Bay Water Connections activities have been piloted
in local classrooms and are correlated to the California Content
Standards for grades 6 to 8 in the areas of Science, English-Language
Arts, and Mathematics. These environmental education activities
build on each other, but may also be used as separate plug-ins to
add a local South Bay perspective to other curricula. View
