The Tahoe Institute for Natural Science (TINS) has released its latest Tahoe Nature Activity Book. It will be distributed to every student in Grades 3 through 5 in the Lake Tahoe Unified School District and made freely available to other schools and districts in the Truckee-Tahoe region. The book helps enhance the current science curriculum with fun and challenging activities centered around the natural wonders of Lake Tahoe. Topics include “How to Draw A Western Tanager,” “Tahoe’s Rockin’ Geology,” and “Tahoe at Night.”
“We’ve been really deliberate about making sure that the content lines up with Next Generation Science Standards and the topics that Tahoe teachers are actually covering in their classrooms,” says TINS co-founder and executive director, Will Richardson. “It’s just one of the many ways we hope to help assist Tahoe educators, while inspiring a love of the natural world in children.”
