Conserving Our Nation's Land
We discovered the definitions that Theodore Roosvelt helped to preserve including: National Forests, National Parks National Monuments, and Bird Reservations. We discussed examples of each also. After learning about these places, we made a three layer map using transparencies that marked many of the National Forests, Monuments, and Parks he established. This helped to show all of the work Roosevelt did to conserve are nation's land.
Activity 3:
Search the Forests
Using the knowledge we gained from the previous activity about National Forests, Parks, and Monuments, we navigated our way through the internet on scavenger hunts of The Grand Canyon, Crater Lake, and Sequoia. We found information about where these places were located, how much land they cover,the largest trees, and some of the magnificent features of these natural wonders.
Take a look at these beautiful places!
