Introduce K-5 students to our National Parks
with the KidCitizen National Parks episode:
In this episode, K-5 children explore how these parks have become symbols of our national heritage and how they offer us opportunities to explore, learn, and connect with the natural world.
Using the power of careful observation and thoughtful reflection, children will learn how to closely examine primary sources and uncover the fascinating details and clues that reveal the awe-inspiring wonders of national parks.
