EXHIBIT A: SCOPE OF WORK
Objective – The Environmental Science Center (ESC) will partner with the City of Renton to offer
environmental science classes and programs as part of the Best Starts for Kids, Quality-Out-of
School Time grant, titled “Highlands Neighborhood Quality-Out-of-School Time Partnership”.
After school program: Environmental Science Center will provide weekly one-hour
environmental education and engagement programs each month to two different age groups (K-
3rd and 4-7 th) focused on stewardship of the Puget Sound watershed, during the school year (Sept
– June). By strengthening students’ science skills though environmental education, the
Environmental Learning Center not only works to address the achievement gap for underserved
students, but also bridges a gap between human actions and environmental degradation.
Students will have the opportunity to grown through hands-on experiment and activities.
Programming will include both fact-based education and experiential learning in plant walks,
salmon run observations, and native plant explorations. Students will participate in stewardship
activities and use both verbal and creative arts approaches to reflect their learning.
In addition, the Environmental Science Center will take students on 6 field studies (two per
quarter) based around the hands-on project based learning on environmental issues and topics
covered in the afterschool program. On the week there is a field trip, students would not have
their regular weekly class. At the end of each quarter ESC will work with City of Renton staff to
plan and host an open house where students will share what they've learned with their parents
and community.
Summer camp science sessions: ESC will provide a once a week one-hour environmental
education and engagement program during the summer. Similar to the after-school program,
this program offers hands-on science experiences led by naturalists. The program offers youth
the opportunity to meet live worms and aquatic macroinvertebrates, learn about food chains by
dissecting owl pellets, explore the lives of other animals, and learn about food webs through
hands-on games. Each summer program adopts a distinct focus area, so that repetition of
material is minimized and engaged learning is enhanced.
Program planning and evaluation: ESC staff will participate in program planning and evaluation
meetings on a quarterly basis (or more as necessary) with City of Renton staff and other Highlands
Neighborhood Quality-Out-of-School Time Partnership organizations and will participate in
assisting with program planning and evaluation tasks as needed.
