These educational animal track cards were developed to enhance 4-6^th grade science during local place-based field trips and visits to Coal Oil Point Reserve and accompanies the animal track activity lesson. The set features 27 animal tracks common to the California coast and includes clues to “what animal made this track?” and an answer on the back side. The double-sided black and white cards can be printed, cut, and laminated for long-term use. The Kids in Nature (KIN) Environmental Education Program promotes the aspirations and achievements of students in underserved schools in Santa Barbara and Goleta, California by providing quality environmental science education and experiences through place-based field trips, mentored by UCSB students in the Nature and Science Education Practicum, utilizing hands-on activities to bring K-12 students outdoors and to UCSB. The Kids in Nature program is supported by the UCSB Coastal Fund, UCSB Office of Education Partnerships Faculty Outreach Grants (FOG) Program and the Mosher Foundation.
