Parks as Laboratories: Studies of Land, Water, and Air
For Middle Schools

The Parks As Laboratories (PAL) program is offered to middle school students. Students visit park sites throughout the Santa Monica Mountains to participate in a teacher-led hands-on environmental program.

This program requires teachers to attend a training workshop. Afterwards their classes will be provided equipment and training needed to conduct air, land, and water experiments at various park sites.

Students will learn process skills used by resource management personnel that will increase creativity and problem solving abilities. They will also discover the importance and impact of natural resources on their lives. Programs are scheduled throughout the school year and last approximately 2.5 hours.
