Curriculum Materials
 

Science for Beginners is an introduction to variables, random chance and measuring used in science.

Watersheds can be studied at school or home with this guide.

 

The park staff works with teachers to develop individualized handouts, research results, or other material to supplement planned curriculum in many areas.  Some that have been developed at the request of teachers are programs on urban environments for college urban planners, a trail guide to show how the Nacotchtank used the land here, a program on bats and technology, and research comparing other planets to Earth with the importance of water habitat in forming life here. 

Call (202) 426-6905 and talk to the education specialist to discuss your needs.

Drawing DaVinci's lock gate design 1485.  

Did You Know?
Transporting goods and people by canal dates back to antiquity. The lock gates used on the C&O Canal were an adaptation of a design by Leonardo DaVinci in the late 1400's. Until the advent of the railroad, water travel was far superior to land travel.
