Second grade is thinking big… like Yellowstone big. 🌎✨

As they investigate landforms and geology, students are exploring why Yellowstone National Park is home to erupting geysers, bubbling paint pots, and steaming hot springs. By discovering that the park sits atop a volcano, they’re beginning to understand how geothermal forces shape the Earth in powerful and surprising ways.

Through observation, questioning, and hands-on exploration, these young geologists are uncovering how extraordinary landscapes are formed.
