Scientists of the Sewers - High School
NGSS PE Supported: HS-LS2-7 and HS-ESS3-4
Students will develop an understanding of the wastewater treatment process performed by the Orange County Sanitation District to further investigate how to reduce greenhouse gas emissions. Then, students will reflect on the challenge, discuss constraints, and evaluate potential solutions to minimize the environmental impact. Students will be presented with an opportunity to test different solutions to reduce the weight and quantity of truck load need to transport the biosolids. By understanding the role of biosolid transportation and water content reduction, students will gain insight into how we can make wastewater treatment more sustainable and help reduce greenhouse gas emissions in their communities.
Wonders of H2O - High School
NGSS PE Supported: HS-ETS1-3 and HS-ESS3-1
High school students will explore how seismic activity, subsidence, and rising sea levels impact the delicate balance between human and natural systems in the Sacramento-San Joaquin Delta. By analyzing maps of the Delta’s damage potential and land subsidence, students will gather evidence to assess the risk to our vital water resources. This program dives into how natural hazards like earthquakes and land sinking can threaten the Delta’s water supply and its ecosystem. Students will also discusses how modernization projects aim to secure California’s water future.
Renewable Energy Education (by invitation only)
NGSS PE Supported: HS-PS3-3
The City of Anaheim is dedicated to increasing the use of renewable energy sources. Students will dive into the world of renewable energy, exploring how clean sources like solar and wind power are helping fight climate change. Through hands-on activities such as generating electricity with hand crank generators and building solar circuits, students will experience firsthand how energy conversion works. Students will calculate the effects of renewable energy on how it helps to reduce greenhouse gas emissions to see how local efforts can make a difference. Students will also come to understand the challenges of energy storage and production. This program connects science and engineering to real-world environmental issues, empowering students to support clean energy initiatives in their communities and beyond!
Electric Vehicle (EV) Adoption Education (by invitation only)
NGSS PE Supported: HS-PS3-3
Anaheim city is dedicated to increasing the ease of EV adoption and use within Anaheim. Students will engage in analysis to discover the benefits of electric vehicles compared to other modes of transportation.
