"I think the most valuable parts of the field trip were the stations on the boat. I especially liked the station where the students got water samples and determined the salinity of it. I also enjoyed the station where the students got water samples and looked at plankton. I really enjoyed those two activities because the students got the samples and looked at them right away. It was very meaningful and taught them concepts I could not replicate in class the same way. I mean, I could get water samples and have them examine them, but it's not the same as having them complete the whole process themselves."

"Four different learning stations was great. At 1/2 hr in length, it was perfect for the attention span of the students, and the content was great / relevant to the students as residents of the Bay Area."

"Awesome! Thanks so much. Kids were engaged, the stations were very hands on, and they were encouraged to recall and make predictions. Very scientific!"
