Science on the road?  Absolutely.   And what better place to study science than Yellowstone National Park?  Geysers, hot spots, volcanoes, wildlife, lava rock.  This is a great place to study science, and the rangers of Yellowstone can help.  Students ages 5 and up can become Young Scientists at Yellowstone.  The program is available at the Canyon Visitor Education Center or Old Faithful Visitor Center.  The kids investigate the mysteries of Yellowstone by completing activities in the visitor center and in the field.  The booklet for the youngest children, the 5–9 year olds, is offered only at Old Faithful.  If you are investigating in the Old Faithful area, be sure to check out a Young Scientist Toolkit, which has a thermometer, stopwatch, and other gear.  The kids think it’s cool.  Once your investigation is complete, you will be awarded an official Young Scientist patch or key chain.  We had a great time becoming Young Scientists.  Definitely include this experience in your Yellowstone trip!
