A Trip to a National Park
It's remarkable how little people know about America's vast National Park system. The 59 major and more than 300 smaller units offer wonderful learning opportunities in Biology, Earth Science, Environmental Science, History, and other social sciences. They have also inspired countless works of art.
This simple activity works on it own, or can serve as an entry point for deeper investigations into they ways in which our Parks preserve our past, present, and future.
Let's go on a trip!

Teaching style
Strong focus on guided inquiry as an overall classroom model. My goal, especially with older students, is to recreate the atmosphere of a research lab, even in groups of up to 30+ students. We don't always get all the way there, but we go as far as we can. Student experiences should be as open-ended as possible, given the constraints of the school experience.
