About the Project

Trout Tales: An Interdisciplinary Journey Through the Life Cycle is an inclusive, community-enriched STEM project for third-grade students at Galileo in the Victor Elementary School District. Students will embark on an interdisciplinary journey focused on the life cycle of the Rainbow Trout. Through hands-on science activities, physical education lessons, and language arts projects, students will strengthen their understanding of biology while improving their reading, writing, and technology skills. In partnership with the California Department of Fish and Wildlife and local fishing clubs, students will hatch and care for Rainbow Trout eggs, culminating in a conservation-focused release at Mojave Narrows. The project also includes casting lessons, narrative and informational writing, stop-motion animation, and 3D modeling.
Designed to support all learners, this project blends academic rigor with environmental stewardship, equity, and real-world skill-building.
