Science in Our Parks

Science In Our Parks is a curriculum-based program for 4th through 6th grade teachers and their students. It is designed around issues common to the Colorado Plateau, using examples from Wupatki, Sunset Crater Volcano, and Walnut Canyon National Monuments. Students improve teamwork, reasoning, and critical thinking skills through classroom activities and field explorations in the monuments.

A handbook containing field explorations and pre- and post-visit materials is available for teachers planning visits to the Flagstaff Area National Monuments. See a sample field exploration. (pdf)
