At Home in Denali's Biome
- Type: Distance Learning
- Grade Levels: Lower Elementary: Pre-Kindergarten through Second Grade

What is it about Denali’s climate and geography that make it so special . . . and so fun to explore? As students learn about winter and summer in Denali, they will be challenged to compare and contrast Denali’s subarctic biomes to their own home. Through motion and play, we’ll discover how trees and animals survive in Denali year-round, and explore a sampling of the ways humans interact with Denali’s varied landscape and terrain.

Salamander Research Field Trip (Middle School)
- Type: Field Trips
- Grade Levels: Middle School: Sixth Grade through Eighth Grade

Researchers use salamanders as a bio-indicator to help assess the health of our forests threatened by air pollution and impacts from a changing climate. When students visit the Smokies on their field trip, one group will be collecting data as part of a Salamander study. The pre, onsite, and post-visit activities in this packet will introduce the scientific method and use the identifying anatomical characteristics to key different species of salamanders.
