Science Is Everywhere!
Science is especially prevalent at the Clayton Valley Pumpkin Farm and Christmas Trees
during our Spring Science Program (April 20th - May 15th) for school groups. Our natural
farm setting is ideal for children to explore and experience "Ag in the Classroom" to
compliment your curriculum. Students see, touch, smell and hear science at our three
learning stations where they discover new facts in the areas of Physical, Earth, and Life
Sciences. See how our program meets the California Department of Education Content
Standards. Every student gets to take home a garden science project. And don't forget the
most fun time of all, students and parents get to ride on the Pumpkin Farm Express - our
popular trackless train!
Program length is 90 minutes. Three available start times are 9:00 am, 10:45 am and
12:30 pm. Cost is $6.50/child and $5.50/adult.
Space is limited, please call Sharon at (925) 672-5198 for availability.
The activities at our Spring Science program are designed using the current California State
Curriculum Standards and Frameworks as guidelines. The curriculum areas covered are
Physical Science, Earth Science, and Life Science. Here are just a few of the things your
students will learn:
Preschool/Kindergarten
First Grade
Second Grade
Third Grade
