Life
Lab Science Program is a 501 (c)(3)
nonprofit organization and has been
working in the field of science and
environmental education for over twenty
years. With our award winning curricula
and programs, the organization helps
schools develop gardens where children
can create "living laboratories"
for the study of the natural world.
Since we developed the first Life Lab
school garden in Santa Cruz in 1978,
we have worked with over 1000 schools
across the United States.
Life Lab is involved in a variety of
projects throughout California. Most
of our work centers around working directly
with teachers to help them use school
gardens and hands-on science programs
effectively.
Rivers
and Birds
In the community:
We offer educational workshops,
wildlife demonstration
opportunities, community screenings
of our award-winning documentary Nuestras
Acequias, and the annual Wild Film Festival
(fall) and the Eco Film Series (spring).
All of these activities are fun and
exciting ways to learn about our environment.
In public schools:
We lead students and teachers, along
with community leaders, on scientific,
historic, and cultural journeys into
nature designed to connect them to the
environment. Our hands-on experiential
Watershed Learning Project is presented
yearly to over five hundred 5th grade
students in Taos County. In
research: Our professional
staff and associates provide broad ecological
research experience and data analysis
expertise to local, state, and federal
land managers.
