Serc: Yellowstone! A National Park on a Hot Spot

Curated by ACT

A lesson plan with an accompanying PowerPoint learning module for young scholars where they learn about the volcanic features of Yellowstone National Park. They use spreadsheets to make various calculations, such as the volume of material produced in eruptions, how often they have occurred, and the probability of future eruptions. They also learn about efforts to protect Yellowstone given that so many tourists visit it.
