Water
Environmental Injustices
Students use data and maps to investigate environmental injustices across San Francisco districts, applying two-way tables to quantitatively explore the lasting impacts of historical redlining on communities.
Housing in San Francisco
Students explore environmental justice, urban housing, and sustainable building strategies by designing a multifamily housing model that incorporates water, energy, and waste-reduction solutions, guided by expert insights from professionals in sustainable city planning and engineering.
Water Stories
Students will view and analyze a model PSA and learn about the sewer system in San Francisco.
Arroyo Valley Creek Study

Water Stewardship Socratic Seminar and Research
Students explore Indigenous perspectives on stewardship, land trust, and restoration, examining how First Nation laws and values inform sustainable practices and equitable access to water, energy, and land.
Investigating the Marsh Creek Watershed
Students will explore water quality systems and synthesize that information to monitor the quality of water in the two creeks that run on either side of the school.
It’s Raining!
Students explore how pollution travels through watersheds by modeling rainfall and runoff on a paper landscape, observing how contaminants spread, then reflecting on real-world impacts and creating memes promoting water conservation and pollution prevention.
