June: celebrating Sunday Streets and World Environment Day 2011
Hands-on climate science for the communities of San Francisco
Sunday Streets: where hands-on climate science is available for all ages.
Sharing the tools, exploring the evidence.
The science is real, being involved in the discovery is fun. And, it matters.
In San Francisco, we're acting together on the science, including the
evidence we've experienced ourselves to take on climate change.
Sunday Streets is a real part of the solutions.
We're honored to serve San Francisco's communities & schools alongside
San Francisco Department of the Environment
Celebrating UN World Environment Day in San Francisco --
International Host City in 2005, Birthplace of the United Nations
Measuring CO2: Discovering the changing levels all around us.
Where is it coming from? What are the major and minor sources?
Comparing natural CO2 with what is released when humans burn fuels.

The Atoms Family:
Exploring Combustion, Photosynthesis, Respiration, & Ocean Acidification
Fuels which are burned mainly consist of carbon and hydrogen.
Combined with oxygen, the principle products of burning are
carbon dioxide and water vapor. Kids and adults discover these
reactions right in their own hands, with models of the atoms and molecules.
Exploring Infrared Light and Albedo -- reflection and
absorption of light by different surfaces
Another example of experiments and investigations that deliver
California's Science Content Standards to K-12 schools. Vital science
in appreciating climate change that is rarely taught, especially hands-on --
even though required by state standards. Now available to SF schools.
Comparing the atmospheres of Earth and our nearby planets.
How the carbon dioxide levels effect a planet's temperature.
