Featured Science Lessons

Engage students with science lessons that tie into seasonal phenomena. Students investigate the phenomena with data, videos, and hands-on activities. Explore these resources:

• Fat Bear Week: Each year, Katmai National Park celebrates Fat Bear Week, highlighting brown bears as they prepare for winter hibernation. Get involved by creating a simple food web for bears.

• Glider Games: How do forces interact with aviation? Have students explore this question by designing their own gliders.

• Run, Salmon! Run! Fall is the time for the salmon run. Salmon swim hundreds of miles from the ocean to small streams to lay eggs. Watch a video or read to explore the salmon run, then create models of Earth’s land and water.
