Education



==== Kenston Field Experience offers a unique opportunity for students to learn science in a non-traditional classroom setting. While on the trip, the students learn a variety of topics from each of the national parks. Below is a list of topics included from each of the national parks, and the National Science Education Standard that is included within the topic ====

Weathering/Erosion Climate Change || Origin and evolution of the earth system Geochemical Cycles Change, constancy, and measurement || Glacial Features Sedimentary Mountain Building Climate Change || Origin and evolution of the earth system Geochemical Cycles Change, constancy, and measurement || Folding and Faulting Climate Change || Geochemical Cycles Change, constancy, and measurement || Rainforest Habitats Tidal Pool Habitats Ocean Tides, Erosion Climate Change || Geochemical Cycles Matter, energy, and organization in living systems Interdependence of organisms Change, constancy, and measurement || Volcanic Hazards Weather/Climate (Orographic Lifting) Ecological Succession Climate Change || Geochemical Cycles Energy in the earth system Matter, energy, and organization in living systems Change, constancy, and measurement || Glacial Features Hydrology Evolution (Wizard Island habitat) || Geochemical Cycles Biological evolution || Mass Wasting (Gros Ventre Landslide) Glacial Features Climate Change || Geochemical Cycles Change, constancy, and measurement || Hydrothermal Features Ecological Succession Climate Change || Geochemical Cycles Energy in the earth system Matter, energy, and organization in living systems Change, constancy, and measurement ||
