Plants Three-Touch Field Trip Model

• Type: Field Trips
• Grade Levels: Upper Elementary: Third Grade through Fifth Grade

There are over 1,500 different plant species found within Delaware Water Gap National Recreation Area. Most plants, even 100-foot tall hemlock trees, start out as small seeds. In this lesson, students will think like a botanists as they explore, observe, and discover how plants grow, how to identify different species, and how phenology is altered as result of climate change. Pre and post visit activities and supplementary materials.

Delaware Water Gap National Recreation Area

Ecology Three-Touch Field Trip Model

• Type: Field Trips
• Grade Levels: Upper Elementary: Third Grade through Fifth Grade

Have you ever thought about how to power a person? We don't plug ourselves into an outlet on the wall, rather we get our energy from the food that we eat. This field trip focuses on the questions surrounding how energy is transferred throughout an ecosystem, how ecologists classify living things, and how living and non-living things interact. The field trip follows a three-touch model, where students complete activities in the classroom before and after a field trip.

Mount Rushmore National Memorial

Mount Rushmore as Scuplture

• Type: Student Activities ... Teacher Reference Materials ... Other Education Materials
• Grade Levels: Middle School: Sixth Grade through Eighth Grade

Recreate the Mount Rushmore sculpture with accuracy in mind but using non-traditional sculpture materials. Use drawings and 3D content to get an understanding of the 3-dimensional volumes of the model for accuracy.

Mount Rushmore National Memorial

Math at Mount Rushmore for Grades 6, 7 and 8

• Type: Student Activities ... Teacher Reference Materials ... Other Education Materials
• Grade Levels: Middle School: Sixth Grade through Eighth Grade

Students recognize shapes in Mount Rushmore, whether it’s 2D shapes through a series of 2D drawings, or 3D shapes through measurable PDF’s of the 3D model of Mount Rushmore. Learners use geometric formulas to calculate the volumes of these shapes based on scaled representations and effectively use understanding of scale to translate these calculations to life-size.

Glacier National Park

Going-to-the-Sun Road: A Model of Landscape Engineering - A Teaching with Historic Places Lesson Plan

• Type: Lesson Plan
• Grade Levels: High School: Ninth Grade through Twelfth Grade

Using the Going-to-the-Sun Road in Glacier National Park in Montana, this lesson plan allows students to identify problems encouraged in designing and building Going-to-the-Sun road and analyze the role of Frank A. Kittredge in planning the road. Students will use historic maps, readings, photographs and drawings to describe and evaluate arguments for building roads to provide access to Glacier National Park and other backcountry and wilderness regions.

Assateague Island National Seashore

Horse Teeth and Diet

• Type: Lesson Plan
• Grade Levels: Upper Elementary: Third Grade through Fifth Grade

In this lesson plan, students will use the scientific method to learn about horses' diets from 3d replicas of horse teeth found on Assateague Island. The 3d replicas are viewable online, or the files may be downloaded and 3d printed. In the process, students will learn an archeological method for learning about animals' lives in the past.

Assateague Island National Seashore

Learning from Spanish Coins

• Type: Lesson Plan
• Grade Levels: Upper Elementary: Third Grade through Fifth Grade

In this lesson, students learn about 18th-century Spanish currency. Teachers can use the lesson plan to help their students investigate how archeologists use artifacts like coins to come up with a relative date for an archeological site. Students will understand how archeologists use newer technologies, such as 3D modeling and Virtual Reality, in order to analyze and interpret artifacts and objects.

Sleeping Bear Dunes National Lakeshore

Watching the Watershed

• Type: Distance Learning
• Grade Levels: Upper Elementary: Third Grade through Fifth Grade

We’ll use a model of a watershed to investigate how water moves through our landscape and have a chance to make our own model to test in the classroom.
