In Science, we continued to discuss landforms and the different variations of them in National Parks around the United States. We discussed the National Park named Denali in Alaska.  Here is some information:

Denali National Park and Preserve includes the central, highest portion of the Alaska Range, together with many of the glaciers and glacial valleys running southwards out of the range. To the north the park and preserve encompass the valleys of the McKinley, Toklat and Foraker Rivers, as well as the Kantishna and Wyoming Hills. The George Parks Highway runs along the eastern edge of the park, crossing the Alaska Range at the divide between the valleys of the Chulitna River and the Nenana River. The entrance to the park is about 11 miles (18 km) south of Healy. The Denali Visitor Center and the park headquarters are located just inside the entrance. The park road parallels the Alaska Range for 92 miles (148 km), ending at Kantishna. Preserve lands are located on the west side of the park, with one parcel encompassing areas of lakes in the Highpower Creek and Muddy River areas, and the second preserve area covering the southwest end of the high Alaska Range around Mount Dall. In contrast to the park, where hunting is prohibited or restricted to subsistence hunting by local residents, sport hunting is allowed in the preserve lands. (Credit to Wikipedia)

In Career Development we learned about the job entitled Botanists and what it takes to work as one. Botanists are scientists who study plants. Plants give us two things we need to survive. The first thing is food. Plants are the only living organisms on earth that can make their own food. The second thing plants give us that we need to survive is oxygen!
