Journeys to Wilderness Canyons in Spanish
An ESL/EFL Companion to Journeys to Wilderness Canyons - Petra Jordan
Join OPEN, and the National Park Service and begin an exotic wildlife expedition in your classroom with Journeys to Living Laboratories! Transport your students, via the Web and broadcast video, to the natural world and guide them through the discovery process as they explore ecology, survival, and preservation.
Come along with OPEN, and the National Park Service as we explore the ecology, animal life and geology of Black Canyon, America's deepest, narrowest and steepest canyon with the US Park Service and compare it with canyons in Petra, Jordan, Three Gorges, China, and then Valles Marineris, Mars (NASA) and more.
Explore how humans and wildlife have coexisted for thousands of years in one of the most active earthquake and volcano sites in the world. Students around the world traveled with our researchers and program hosts to the summit of Mt. Novarupta, the largest and most voluminous volcanic eruption.
In the spring of 1998 and 1999, OPEN launched its Mariners of Greece program targeted to students age 12 to 17 from the U.S., Greece, Denmark and Jordan. Using two-way videoconferencing equipment and the Internet, participants from three continents were afforded the opportunity to communicate online with student
peers and experts from Harvard and Brown University and Athens, Greece. OPEN teams collaborated using our interactive multidisciplinary curriculum.
Students learned about ancient trade routes and peoples of the Mediterranean and Middle East combining their knowledge of science, literature and history.
