Lowell National Historical Park

The Human Impact on the Living Planet Virtual Field Trip

• Type: Distance Learning
• Grade Levels: Middle School: Sixth Grade through Eighth Grade

Tracing the water cycle, from precipitation to surface water runoff, students investigate how humans’ impact the health of the environment. Through stories of everyday activities, students make predictions, conduct observations, and formulate conclusions as our staff conduct live experiments. After observing the test of a simple water filter, students propose changes to improve the design and discuss ways in which their community can reduce its impact on Earth’s resources.

Gettysburg National Military Park

Slyder Family Farm (Formerly Called Impact of War)

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

The battle of Gettysburg affected not just the soldiers who fought it, but also the civilians in and around the town - destroying property, stability and livelihoods.

Everglades National Park

"Incredible Shrinking Habitat" Environment: 4-6 Grade

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

The Florida panther has succumbed to numerous pressures, including loss of habitat, to become a highly endangered species. Access into wilderness areas by road building for drainage canals, and increased development for ranching, lumber, agriculture, mining, oil and gas drilling, housing and recreation all impact the panther habitat. Students will become panthers, deer and vehicles in an active tag-like game to learn about the impact of development.

Marsh - Billings - Rockefeller National Historical Park

Building Stewardship Through Science - Mercury in Our Environment

• Type: Field Trips
• Grade Levels: High School: Ninth Grade through Twelfth Grade
