Classes

The Sierra Nevada Aquatic Research Laboratory hosts a variety of classes for students of all ages. Schoolchildren in K–12 classes learn about the natural world through hands-on activities such as hiking, and nature study. Visits by University-level classes can be tailored to fit the needs of any discipline, including ecology, population biology, integrative biology, and botany, environmental science, earth science, geography, natural resource science, interdisciplinary courses, and art and literature.

These programs help students learn about the natural world from the comfort of their own homes.
