I can scuba dive in an underwater kelp forest...
I can have a discussion with Frederick Douglas...
I can listen to Jazz in New Orleans...
I can go on an archaeological dig...
I can climb to the top of Mount McKinley...
I can explore crystals in Wind Cave...
...without leaving the classroom!
For years, teachers and rangers have used national parks as classrooms during place-based field trips.
Thousands of students have walked on trails or through historic houses to learn about nature and history.
But, did you know that the National Park Service also offers educational materials that you can use in the classroom?
The National Park Service's new teachers website brings everything together in one place.
I can search for lesson plans, field trips, distance learning programs, professional development opportunities
and other educational resources from across the country by location, grade level, and subject.
I can also rate the materials and provide useful feedback.
Whether you are teaching about wildlife habitats, the revolutionary war, or civil rights,
let the National Park Service help you make those subjects come alive inside
or outside the classroom.
