Year after year, we've seen students benefit from these grants by receiving hands-on experiences that enhance their understanding of environmental science topics.
Elementary schools have revitalized or created new gardens to learn about plant life cycles and composting; middle schools have started climate change projects focused on auditing students' individual carbon footprints and addressing ecological impact; and AP Environmental Science high schools have ordered lab kits for wind and energy, decomposition, and biofuel, to enhance students' understanding of wind turbines, decomposition, and alternative fuels.
This is also our only Teacher Resource Grant Program available year round, because learning doesn't stop for everyone over the summer. For those of you teaching on a year-round schedule or summer school, consider taking your students on a well-deserved field trip. Some examples of field trips we have funded include:
If you and another teacher are taking multiple classrooms, we welcome and encourage you to partner together and apply for two grants, totaling $1,000.
Grants are also available for more than just classroom materials and field trips. Any TK-12th grade teacher working at a low-income public school in the Bay Area is eligible for $500 towards their own professional development of environmental science learning.
We at PVF thank the Lampert-Byrd Foundation and Maxwell | Hanrahan Foundation for their generous support of early environmental education.
