Coastal Habitat Restoration - at the beach!

You can help save one of the last Coastal Dune Habitats in San Diego! This special ecological area at the mouth of the San Diego River is home to threatened and endangered plant and animal species. Join the Friends of the San Diego River Mouth for family-friendly conservation activities; including invasive plant removal, native plant watering, trail maintenance and litter removal. Your work will help to keep this special place beautiful for visitors and maintain native habitats for birds and other animals. An educational walking tour will be included.

LPA

Students from the Monarch School’s elementary STEAM club along with LPA designers, architects and engineers will lead visitors in a tower building competition that explores the integrated approach to structures through architecture and engineering.
Teams will have several minutes to design and build block towers that will then be seismically tested on a shake table. The team who’s tower stands longest wins!

EXPLORE & DISCOVER MORE!

EcoVivarium Living Museum will offer EXPLORE & DISCOVER MORE opportunities during normal business hours. Special EXPLORE & DISCOVER MORE will allow visitor an up-close study of different museum Ambassadors each day. Each day offers a new and exciting exploration for visitors.

Goldstone Apple Valley Radio Telescope Project

The Goldstone Apple Valley Radio Telescope Project (GAVRT) is a partnership between NASA, Jet Propulsion Laboratory, and the Lewis Center for Educational Research, a K-12 Charter School in Apple Valley, California. GAVRT trains educators on the basics of radio astronomy, technical topics pertinent to the project’s science observation campaigns, and telescope operations. Once trained, educators schedule time on the radio telescope for their class to collect data on a strong radio source.

Cabrillo National Monument

Visit Cabrillo National Monument's Science Education Team to learn about San Diego's ecology with a fun activity suitable for all ages! You'll use your powers of observation to recognize and understand native plants and pollinators, and how invasive species impact our environment. There will be a station with live local plants and a pollinator box, plus an activity that simulates the sensory systems of ants through identifying their "pheromones". Be a scientist with the National Park Service!
