In Career Development, we learned about what it takes to be a Park Ranger. During this week we will highlighting jobs of interest that could be obtained. Park rangers act as stewards of state and national parks, working to keep these natural areas safe for wildlife and plant species and accessible to the millions of people who visit them each year. They have job duties as varied as protecting endangered areas, teaching visitors about wildlife and plants, gathering scientific information and conducting search and rescue operations. This article provides information on the career of a park ranger, the requirements for becoming one, and finding a job with the National Parks Service or within a state park system.



 In Science, we talked about what goes into making and setting up fireworks. Firecrackers have been around for hundreds of years. They consist of either black powder or flash powder in a tight paper tube with a fuse to light the powder. Black powder contains charcoal, sulfur and potassium nitrate. A composition used in a firecracker might have aluminum instead of or in addition to charcoal in order to brighten the explosion.
