Parks And The Past

Did You Know?
National parks preserve and protect nature and the environment. When your students are older, they can volunteer in national parks to help take care of these special places.

Classroom Activity #22
Service learning provides experiential context for social studies. It also helps prepare students to become active, responsible citizens. Have your students contact a national park nearby or find one on the Internet at www.nps.gov to explore ways your students can help park rangers make a difference in their community. Also, copy the Careers in National Parks and the Careers Search on page 27. In groups or individually, have your students complete the Careers Search looking for the job titles. (Answers on page 29)
