Ornithology Lessons

 

     

Teachers:

The resource guide will enable teachers to use the Gorge and related national parks as an outdoor, hands-on learning environment for their students through a variety of scientific topics. In addition, the guide will help increase teachers’ and students’ local knowledge of, and interest in, the Potomac Gorge. Through the activities and links below, students will begin to develop a connection with the land that promotes a sense of stewardship and responsibility towards preservation of the Gorge.
