National parks are the largest classrooms with different teaching resources. Take a look at what Grand Canyon National Park has to offer.

Hands-on learning emphasizes adaptions, ecological principles, and plant and animal interrelationships. Activities vary by grade level.

Walking the park's Geological Trail of Time, students learn how active geologic processes such as plate movement result in the cycling of surface materials and changes in landscapes over time.

The survival of different species depends on two species helping each other. The complex relationships within one habitat can be hurt when one of the species is threatened or one of the species becomes extinct.

It provides an opportunity for your classroom to interact with a park ranger（护林员）through a live and interactive lesson via the Internet. Students can discuss with the ranger the ecology, geology, and human history, as well as life and work in the national park.
