Eureka Series
Field-based Science Education for California's Students
In response to the tremendous need to improve science literacy in California, California State Parks, in partnership with the California Institute for Biodiversity (CIB), launched the Eureka Series. This series is a collection of regionally-based programs throughout California that strategically combine high-quality, multimedia classroom materials with local field experiences in California's State Parks and other natural areas. The goal of the program is to improve teaching, increase students' interest in science, and encourage academic achievement in the areas of science, math, and reading for students grades 4-10.
