Outdoor Science Park<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Have you ever wondered how the San Francisco Bay was formed? Discover the geologic forces and other factors that created the landscape we call home in our outdoor science park! Control and shape water flow in our simulated Sierra Nevada watershed pond, learn how water affects rock and sand on our erosion tables, and more, all with a beautiful panoramic view of San Francisco and the Bay as a backdrop.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Sierra Nevada Watershed Pond<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

Did you know that runoff from the Sierra Nevada mountains supplies drinking water for two-thirds of California\u2019s population? The pond in Forces That Shape the Bay is an interactive representation of this watershed that allows visitors to control the flow of water and discover the effects downstream.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n
