Yellowstone National Park, WY 82190
Grade levels: 4 through 8
The activities in this guide are an accompaniment to another publication for teachers, "Expedition: Yellowstone!" This earlier curriculum for grades 4 through 6 is available at the above address as well, and is designed for students who may have access to Yellowstone National Park. However, many of the activities in "Getting to Know Wildland Fire" do not require access to a burned area. The brief document contains about eight activities with handouts to be copied for students. The activities cover a wide range of academic subjects and are a good example of the interdisciplinary opportunities in programming. The materials required for these activities do not appear to be as difficult or costly to assemble as some others. A lengthy list of readings and videos about fire is included at the end of this curriculum.
