SUMMARY:Death Valley Daze
DESCRIPTION:Summary\nDeath Valley National Park\, CA may be the most diverse geographically in the country. Death Valley is the hottest place on earth\, the driest and lowest place in North America and the largest NP outside of Alaska. From -282 Badwater\, the lowest place in the Western Hemisphere\, one can see the often snow-capped 11\,049′ Telescope Peak within the park. DVNP contains dunes\, rocks\, alluvial fans\, hills\, mesas\, buttes\, creosote\, Joshua trees\, fish\, birds\, reptiles\, amphibians\, minerals\, salt pans\, a ‘racetrack’\, a ‘golf course’\, a ‘castle’ and yes\, water to name a few. Using multimedia\, a variety of handouts and desert snacks\, a retired soldier who was stationed at Fort Irwin adjacent to the park will bring this park to life. If you love Geography\, DVNP should be on your to-do list. \n*Spread the love of Geography to my fellow educators by sharing my passion for one of the most geographically diverse parks around.\n*Any teacher can incorporate the geographic themes in a variety of lessons featuring this and other parks. \nSession Focus\nAll Grade Levels| Physical & Environmental Geography | U.S. Focused \nConference Room\nCullen \nMeet the Presenters\nBrent Bagley\, a longtime geography educator\, NCGE Lifetime Member\, and retired U.S. Army veteran whose career reflects a deep commitment to both service and education.
