Welcome to the Denali Discovery Guide
 Welcome to Discover Denali Activity Guide This Guide will explore you explore learning outside the classroom walls every day. More then 650 species of flowering plants as well as many species of mosses, lichens, fungi, algae, and others grace the slops and valleys of Denali. Only animals and plants adapted to long, bitterly cold winters can survive in this sub arctic wilderness. Deep beds of intermittent permafrost - ground frozen for thousands of years - underlie portions of the park and preserve. Only the thinnest layer of the topsoil thaws each summer to support life. Exploring Denali National Park & Preserve you will work to produce video stories that combine science and technology. Using, digital cameras, editing software, and electronic media outlets we will tell our own stories and share them widely. We want to help you learn to tell your own story of Denali Park, as well as the wild places in your own back yard.
In this Discover Denali Activity Guide, we will relate digital storytelling to standards in science and geography within balanced instruction that includes direct instruction, project-based learning, and individual reflections. You are invited to learn new tools for telling stories about natural systems in places ranging from Denali National Park to your own back yard. The emphasis is upon your ability to listen, learn, and tell your own story about nature. In each lesson you will ask to create, communicate, collaborate, and assess your work. Denali National Park has many things to teach us about wildlife, natural history, and the role nature plays in our own lives. Here we invite you to learn through this Activity Guide to make Denali your own.
