Whether you’re a science teacher or a history teacher, America’s national parks are wonderful resources for any classroom. These activities from the National Park Service use information from national parks across the country to add a bit more fun to the usual lesson plans. They're also a reliable source of information for people who want to learn more about the history of the United States!

Coquina Queries
This archaeology and history lesson is made for students ranging from second grade to twelfth grade. Using coquina, the native shellstone from Northeast Florida, the class will learn why it made a good material for the construction of Florida's Castillo de San Marcos, the oldest masonry fort in North America.

Bison by the Numbers
In this lesson, students will learn about the dramatic decrease in the bison population in the Great Plains of North America after settlers moved west in the 19th century. Students will use bar graphs to chart population data.
