Yosemite in Depth

This section presents detailed lessons about specific topics as they relate to Yosemite National Park, including online interactions and activities that are fun whether you are visiting the park or not. Shorter overview versions of these lessons can be found in "Yosemite at a Glance."

“Yosemite in Depth” is for both students and teachers. This is where you will learn about different subjects in more detail.

For example, in the Geology lesson you can even take a virtual “hike” through some of Yosemite’s spectacular scenery, learning more about the park’s biology and geology than in “Yosemite at a Glance.” Yosemite National Park truly is an outdoor laboratory, now accessible to visitors around the world!

Some of the activities and exercises contain links called “Teaching Suggestions,” which provide teaching tips for teachers about that particular page or topic. Teachers can find suggestions for classroom activities whether they are visiting the park, or just taking the online tour.

The interactions have been designed to work on most platforms and with most major browsers. However, there may be some limitations. Find out how to get the most out of the online interactions.

So pick a topic from the list above and start your discovery of Yosemite!
