Each year more and more teachers are interested in using Bighorn Canyon National Recreation Area as a tool to help their students understand the natural world around them.

The Bighorn Canyon curriculum was designed to meet the Wyoming and Montana state standards, which are based on the National standards. Teachers will find several activities for Kindergarten through eighth grade students divided into 2 grade levels. The topics and background information are in the fields of Geology, History, and Life Sciences. Some of the activities are designed as pre-field trip and post-field trip activities while others are designed to stand alone for those teachers that are unable to bring their students to Bighorn Canyon.

We hope that you find the teacher guides helpful. We invite you to adapt each lesson to serve your needs and help you to inspire students to learn about the world around them.
